Glen Day is a PGA Tour Player who has won the 1999 MCI Classic and the 1990 Benson & Hedges Malaysian Open (Asia). He was the first of nine first-time winners on the PGA Tour with his playoff victory at the MCI Classic. He sank a 35-foot birdie putt on first extra hole to defeat Payne Stewart and Jeff Sluman. He also shot 70-68-70 and was five strokes out of the lead heading into Sunday.
This Final-round 66 produced a tie with Stewart and Sluman, who both shot 70 on Sunday. It was Day's first career playoff. In 1998 he made an impressive jump as a legitimate contender on Sunday. He was 1ed after 18 holes and was second through 54 holes before recording first career runner-up finish at the Players Championship.
In 2001, Glen came in 4th in the MasterCard Colonial, and tied for 6th in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. He was ranked #15 on the PGA Tour Money List with $1,283,416, and scored T-9 on the AT&T Pebble Beach Tournament.
In 2000, the first of two top-10s came at the first event of the season with a T-8 in the Mercedes Championship.
Glen made his first foray into golf-course design business with Salem Glen, near Winston-Salem, NC. He credits grandfather with encouraging his pursuit of golf career. In fact, his grandfather co-signed a loan so he could play in Asia and Europe. His father-in-law, Bob Ralston, played 10 events on 2000 SENIOR PGA TOUR. Glen maintains his family involvement in golf by having pictures of his daughters on buttons he wears on his cap while playing. His concerns go beyond family; he serves as host for annual Day For Charity Pro-Am in Little Rock, AR, in support of charities throughout central Arkansas.
