LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A club professional played like he fit right in with the tour pros on Thursday in the PGA Championship. No, it wasn’t Michael Block.
Jeremy Wells made a 15-foot birdie putt on the 13th hole, got a tough par on the 266-yard 14th and then nearly holed out from the 15th fairway, the ball settling inches away from the cup.
“A nice stretch of 3-3-3 down there at the bottom of the hill, and that’s when I kind of knew it was a special day,” he said.
He tapped in for his fourth birdie and a round of 2-under 69, a respectable start for the PGA director of player development at Cypress Lake in Fort Myers, Florida.
It certainly beat his debut from last year at Oak Hill.
For starters, Oak Hill was tighter and tougher than the soft conditions at Valhalla. It also was his first time on such a big stage.
“I was probably fairly tired when I showed up at Oak Hill last year,” he said. “Four full 18-hole practice rounds later, maybe I overdid it. I had a blast, but for us when you come to one of these, you never know if you’re going to play in one again, right. No regrets from that.”
