EDISON, N.J.—After a vintage winning performance at this year’s PGA Championship in which he finished 20-under-par for the event, it would have been expected if Jason Day dipped a bit on the performance side of things with a post-major letdown.
Not a chance.
The day—literally and figuratively—belonged to Jason.
After experiencing a bit of back pain prior to the start of The Barclays—the opening leg of this year’s FedEx Cup Playoffs—the 27-year-old Aussie settled matters in the most definitive of ways during the final 36 holes, scoring 15-under-par on rounds of 63–32 for a 125 total and a six-stroke victory. Day’s 261 total tied the tournament record and his win was utterly complete—demonstrating total command with all elements of his game at peak form. Jason had only one bogey during weekend play and just four the entire week.
