Mitchell comes up just short at Quail Hollow

2nd PGA Tour win out of reach at Wells Fargo Championship

Mizuno’s Keith Mitchell came up painfully short at Quail Hollow – chasing his 2nd PGA Tour win.  Leading overnight, Mitchell finished T3rd at 8 under par – after a 1 over par last round.  Mitchell continued to impress from the tee with his Mizuno ST-Z driver – comfortably matching  eventual winner Rory Mcllroy for distance.  Though some untidy chipping into Quail Hollow’s treacherous greens proved Mitchell’s downfall.
