Charlotte, N.C. • Phil Mickelson kept it entertaining to the very end Thursday and finished one shot behind Angel Cabrera in the Wells Fargo Championship.
Cabrera played in the morning and thrived on the new Bermuda greens at Quail Hollow. He made seven birdies in a round of 6-under 66. It's his lowest score of the year and only the fourth time he shot in the 60s.
The wind was strong and swirling in the afternoon. That didn't stop Mickelson. He made birdies off the pine straw, made a long par save on one hole and three-putted another. Mickelson finished with a 6-iron from a tough stance in the bunker that led to par and a 67.
Martin Flores also shot 67.
Trump courses for PGA, Senior
The PGA Championship is going to Trump National in New Jersey, giving The Donald his biggest tournament yet.
The PGA of America announced a partnership Thursday that will bring the 2022 PGA to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster. The Senior PGA Championship will be played at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, in 2017.
"Certainly when you have courses, when you get acknowledged to have one of the majors ... having the PGA is a very, very big deal," Donald Trump said at a news conference.
