Pro Golf: How Jason Day Made Golf History - The Cheat Sheet
For the third straight major championship, the 27-year-old Australian found himself with at least a share of the lead after 54 holes. Of course, those last two tournaments didn’t exactly work in his favor, as he was unable to pull off victories at either the U. S. Open or the British Open. Now heading into the final day of the PGA Championship, with the pressure mounting and a surging Jordan Spieth lurking in the shadows, you had to wonder if the moment would prove — once again — to be too big for the a guy who’s spent most of his... With a 5-under 67 final round, Day won the PGA Championship and finally vanquished his major demons. “I didn’t expect I was going to cry,” Day said. “A lot of emotion has come out because I’ve been so close so many times and fallen short. To be able to play the way I did today, especially with Jordan in my group, I could tell that he was the favorite. Just to be able to finish the way I did was amazing. Spieth may have been the favorite heading into Sunday’s final round, but there was nothing he could do to rain of Day’s parade. Day finished the PGA Championship at 20-under 268 , eclipsing the 19 under mark Woods put up in St. Andrews at the 2000 British Open. Just think, Day had come up short so many times, he wasn’t sure this moment would ever come. Source: www.cheatsheet.com
