Will MacKenzie bogeyed his first hole in the Wyndham Classic in Greensboro, NC before going on a tear. He went on a tear that took him all the way to the lead. A tear that included a near hole-in-one consisting of nine birdies in fifteen holes to shoot an 8-under 64.

"I rolled it really nice, drove it okay and, you know, I’m just playing solid golf but I made some putts. I made my couple 25-footers and made all my short ones.
Almost made a hole in 1, hit the pin on No. 8 with 4-iron 223 or something. That was wonderful. I just stayed patient and had some fun," said Will MacKenzie

Steve Marino, Brian Davis, Lucas Glover, and Jeff Overton are all tied for second at 7-under 65. 2003 Champion Shigeki Maruyama leads a group of seven players that are tied at 6-under 66.

Maruyama was this tournament in 2003 and was runner-up in 2005 and wore his trademark goofy grin for most of the day on Thursday.

"Off the tee, it’s set up pretty good for my eyes," Said Maruyama. "I have good confidence in this course and I didn’t play that good today but, you know, like I said, I have a pretty good image of this course. It’s set out pretty right. Just about right for me."

Will Mackenzie was a promising young talent in the AJGA before giving it all up for a life outdoors. In fact, MacKenzie didn’t play a single tournament from the age of 14 to a random Sunday at the age of 25 when he decided to hit balls after watching Payne Stewart win the US Open at Pinehurst and was hooked agin.

"It just really inspired me. Home state, Pinehurst No. 2, I love it, just adore the place. Payne Stewart (was) sort of a childhood idol," said MacKenzie of watching Stewart win the Open.

MacKenzie walked away from golf at 14 and eventually moved to Montana where he fell in love with the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, surfing, kayaking, snowboarding, rock-climbing and living in an older van where all part of MacKenzie’s lifestyle.

"I lived in Montana and snowboarded. In the summer I kayaked, rock climbed and worked, among other things. I just enjoyed being in the outdoors 24/7. I lived in my van.
You know, lived just a perfect little lifestyle. You know, I was 20 to 24 — or 18 really to 24. I mean I didn’t need any money. You know, I lived in an older van and I always had money in my pocket because I was working and I just enjoyed the charge."

Some might say that the biggest draw the Wyndham Championship has is that it is the final tournment before we all see how the inaugural Fed-Ex Cup playoffs work. Currently 50 players in the Wyndham could conceivably make their way into the Top 30 and seal their way to the Masters next year with solid play. Five players: Bob Tway, Lee Janzen, Glen Day, and Marco Dawson all need to make the cut this week or their run at the playoffs will end Friday. Below is a list of players that are entered this week and their position in the standings. Each one of them is entered this week, and you can sit back and watch the drama unfold all weekend.

Testing Lorem Ipsum

Published

on


What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Photos from the 2026 PGA Championship

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
