The winner of the PGA Tour event — held
opposite a signature event at the Truist Championship this week
— gets a spot in the PGA Championship if not already eligible.
That's not the case for Hughes or two of the players one shot
behind him — Seamus Power and Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark — both
already in the field next week at Quail Hollow.
Will Chandler also shot 64. He has yet to qualify for the PGA
Championship.
Hughes finished with a flurry, making five birdies over the last
six holes. He is a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, though it
has been more than two years since his last title.
He felt like his putting has let him down in recent week, so he
changed up his routine by being quicker and more instinctive on
the greens.
“Putted nicely today,” he said. “Then at the end there I kind of
caught fire. I can't remember the last time I birdied the last
four holes. But it's definitely a nice finish.”
The group at 66 included 44-year-old Nick Watney, who hasn't won
in 13 years, and 17-year-old Blades Brown in his first year as a
pro.
