Thursday Night Recap - Wells Fargo Championship
Hello members,
Today is a special day. It’s Rory’s 34th birthday! AND, mine! He shot 34-34 today in honor of his birthday, and let’s just say I did not shoot that this morning. He currently sits in in T16 and is three shots back from the leader, Tommy Fleetwood. Tommy shot 65 to be 6-under. Xander Schauffele shot 5-under and is T2 along with Streelman, Lee, Moore, and Palmer. It feels like there were more birdies today than typical at Quail Hollow, so we’ll see if tomorrow brings us similar scores.
May the Fourth be with you all.
A whole new meaning to "shooting your age."
Happy birthday, Rory! 🎂

Twitter Roundup
Lee Westwood on the hypocrisy of the punishments issued to DP World Tour players for playing #LIVGolf:
"Tell me, what is the difference? Just because LIV is funded by the Saudis - a country where my tour used to play and where we were encouraged to play?"

You’ll never guess which 3-time major champ played the 18th hole entirely from the left side of the creek
