It's a great Day for Betfair golf punter who celebrated £7K win just in time for this week's US PGA Championship at Oak Hill...

  • Punter wins almost £7k from two golf winners

  • Nervy finish as Jin Young Ko wins in playoff

  • Day wins by one thanks to bogey-free round


A Betfair golf punter was celebrating a huge win in the last tournaments before this week's US PGA Championship.

The lucky bettor picked out a £25 each-way golf double, backing Jason Day at 16/1 in the men's At&T Byron Nelson Championship and Jin Young Ko at 14/1 to win the women's Cognizant Founders Cup.

After a nerve-wracking finish at the Cognizant, which saw Ko win a play-off, the bettor collected almost £7,000 in winnings.

Day won the Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas by one shot.

The Australian played a superb bogey-free final-round nine-under-par 62 to claim his first PGA Tour title for five years.

Now for the US PGA Championship...

He now heads to the US PGA Championship where he is 35.034/1 on the Betfair Exchange to win.

Jon Rahm 9.08/1 is the current pre-tournament favourite with Scottie Scheffler 9.517/2, who finished fifth at the Byron Nelson, next in the betting.
