Jubilant Jason feels his Day has arrived

Jason Day had made a habit of getting close to the big victory, but now that the Australian is closing the deal on the golf course, he has joined Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth at the top of the game.

Day’s massive six-stroke romp to victory at The Barclays on Sunday gave him three wins in his last four events, including the PGA Championship for his maiden major, and sent him to first place in the FedExCup playoff standings.

The 27-year-old Day, who has battled illness and injuries over the seasons, felt a turning point at this year’s Open, where he finished one-shot short of a play-off at St Andrews and has been unstoppable since.
