CROMWELL, Conn. – The last time Jason Day finished top-three in a PGA Tour event, Lebron James was carrying the Cleveland Cavaliers to their fourth straight NBA Finals, Alex Ovechkin was weeks away from winning his first Stanley Cup, and nobody ever said "COVID-19."
May 2018 'twas a time long ago.
More than three years later – which feels much longer than that – Day is the solo-leader through 36 holes of the Travelers Championship at 9 under after shooting a 62 on Day 2.
"I was fortunate enough to not really get in my own way today," said Day, whose last top-three finish was also his last win on Tour, the '18 Wells Fargo.
