How to use wedge in a sentence?

1. Justin Thomas:

   I didn’t really do anything at all today and I very easily could have won the tournament, i mean, good drive on 18, and I have a wedge in there and could be in this playoff just as easily. But a lot to build on a, lot of positives, and we got a big stretch coming up, so I’m excited for it.

2. Jordanian Interior Minister Hussein Majali:

3. Tiger Woods:

   I took something off that wedge and it flew a lot further than I thought. The other guys took a little read off of that.

4. Robert Bleischwitz:

   The fans in front help to produce an air cushion, because the wing is tilted like a wedge and so the air is trapped below the wing surface and like a hovercraft it can elevate up at the beginning, so it can really lift off at nearly zero speed. And later you can tilt these thrusters in the front to get into a more streamlined, so which is then in the performance, better. So you use tillable rotors in the front to lift off at lower speed and fly at higher speed.

5. Jonathan Westin:

   Perez coming in at this time only further drives a wedge in the Democratic Party, what we're seeing play out, in a microcosm here in New York, is that the party elites are out of touch with where the base of the party is at.
