Late charge lifts the Aussie to victory.
Australia's Jason Day birdied two of the last three holes to capture the Wells Fargo Championship, collecting his 12th career US PGA title and second of the year. Day, the 2015 PGA Championship winner, held off Americans Aaron Wise and Nick Watney with a finalround two-under par 69 to finish 72 holes on 12-under 272 for a two-stroke victory at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina.
On the same course where he contended before faltering late in last year's PGA Championship, the 30-yearold Aussie stumbled with back-to-back bogeys and fell level with Wise with four holes remaining. But Day sank a 10-foot birdie putt at the par-4 16th and bounced his tee shot into the flagstick at the par-3 17th before a tap-in birdie. He sank a seven-footer for par at 18 to win by two.
