Fore! Things

1. Jason Day’s final-round 62 at the Byron Nelson Championship led to his first victory since 2018 and the 13th of his PGA Tour career.

2. The 62 is the lowest final-round score shot by a winner since Tom Kim shot 61 in the final-round of last year’s Wyndham Championship.

3. The 62 also tied his career-low final-round score on the PGA Tour and his lowest in any round since the second round of the 2021 Travelers Championship.

4. With a win at the Byron Nelson, Scottie Scheffler would have returned to No. 1 in the world. Instead, Masters champ Jon Rahm keeps that position heading into the PGA Championship. Rahm is also No. 1 in the SI World Golf Rankings.

Fore! More Things

1. As it now stands, the PGA Championship has 99 of the top 100 players in the world, pending the decision of Jordan Spieth, who missed the Byron Nelson with a wrist injury. Will Zalatoris, who had back surgery the weekend of the Masters, is out for the year and the only player among the top 100 missing.

2. For the first time since the 1999 U.S. Open, Sergio Garcia is not eligible for a major championship. Garcia, 43, who won the 2017 Masters, played in every major starting with the 1999 Open at Carnoustie until he missed the 2020 Masters due to testing positive for COVID-19. That was a streak of 84 consecutive majors. And if you include the 2020 Masters, he was eligible for 94 straight. Garcia is 189th in the OWGR and was not given an exemption.

3. Dustin Johnson returned to winning form at the LIV Tulsa event after a February back injury led to a slow start. He will take momentum to the PGA Championship along with Cam Smith (who lost in a playoff to Johnson but shot 61 on Sunday), Brooks Koepka (finished sixth) and Bryson DeChambeau (seventh).

4. The first round of the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club begins in three days.
