Monday Scramble: New Big Three vying for No. 1 - Golf Channel (press release) (blog)
Jason Day obliterates another top field, the No. 1 spot goes up for grabs, Sergio Garcia tests the FedEx Cup points system, Presidents Cup qualifying comes to a close and more in this week’s Bahston edition of the Monday Scramble:. In seven short months, Jason Day shed the label of golf’s greatest underachiever, became a major champion and now this week has a chance to achieve one of his two lifelong goals: become world No. 1. . Day possesses a rare combination of skills –... He’s been so dialed in over the past few months, so dominant in three of his past four starts, that it prompts an interesting question: When they’re at their absolute best, who wins: Rory, Jordan or Jason. perhaps in 219 days, at Augusta, where all three players have a decent track record. With only one speed – fast, very fast – it’s clear that the only thing that can hold Day back now is his injury history, a list of maladies as long as an NFL running back’s. Last week’s pro-am WD because of a tweaked back was just another reminder of his painful past, but five days later it was rendered a mere footnote to another commanding performance. It’s safe to say Day has gotten comfortable closing out tournaments. In his last seven months. In his last five starts alone, he is (gulp) 73 under par. Source: www.golfchannel.com
