Aug 12 (Reuters) - Jason Day did not win the British Open, but says he had a calm feeling during the final round that he had never experienced the previous times he had been in contention at a major.
And Day has been in contention a lot, piling up six top-four finishes in the past five years.
He was close to tears when the birdie putt that would have vaulted him into the playoff came up short at St. Andrews in July, but victory six days later at the Canadian Open was a nice consolation prize.
Day is one of the favourites for the PGA Championship starting on Thursday at Whistling Straits, where he had his first strong major showing, finishing equal 10th in 2010.
