Day stays calm, then explodes en route to PGA lead
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Jason Day’s round was heading in a familiar direction late Saturday afternoon at the PGA Championship.
In contention at a major championship for the third time this season, Day played his first eight holes in 1 under and was three strokes out of the lead when he calmly rolled in a 12-foot birdie putt at the ninth.
He calmly added another at the 10th and an eagle, which included a pitching wedge second shot at the 563-yard par-5 11th hole, to inch his way back into the lead.
In fact, the only time he wasn’t calm was when he charged in a 25-footer for birdie at the 17th hole after a bad break cost him a chance at birdie at the par-5 16th.
