Vijay Singh bombs in 72-foot putt to get safely past PGA Championship cut

One of the oldest players in the field hits one of the longest putts of the week.

The 2004 PGA winner at Whistling Straits, Vijay Singh, was coming off a double bogey and perilously close to falling on the wrong side of the cut line on Saturday morning. So, the ageless grinder just decided to bomb one in from 72 feet for birdie to get back to even-par and assure himself two more rounds at a course he knows well. It’s just inches short of the putt that Russell Henley drained earlier this week that is still the longest of the championship so far.
