Day balloons up leaderboard, but chases elusive title at Pebble

PEBBLE BEACH, Fla. – So, this balloon therapy’s working out well.

Jason Day isn’t just becoming a big hit at children’s birthday parties, with growing skill blowing and shaping balloons into a variety of farm animals, he’s also learning to shape shots without as much pain again.

But . . .

“If you need a kids’ party, I can do it for you,” he cracked.

Day was just joking with media about his thoracic therapy routine after Friday’s round at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but he saved the real fun for the course, showing signs his ailing back is growing strong enough to allow him to contend for titles again.
