PGA leader Jason Day chunked a wedge shot like he was an amateur hacker

Duff’d it!

“I’m trying to remember the last time I saw something like that, that wasn’t in a pro-am,” was the line from David Feherty after this ghastly chunk from Jason Day. His drive went 323 yards, leaving him with just 122 in to the cup. The second shot went just 70 yards.

Day got to 19-under at the 7th green -- just the fourth time in championship history that milestone was reached, with Day being the third player to do so -- but then promptly gave one back with his first bogey of the day at the 8th. After that swing at the 9th, things were tightening up all around Whistling Straits, but Day made an incredible up-and-down save to escape with a par.
