Day’s in the right mood
AUSTRALIAN Jason Day has an axe to grind at Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey.
The last time he played the course in the 2014 FedEx Cup finals opener, he blew the 54hole lead and a shot to force a playoff on the 72nd hole as Hunter Mahan stormed home.
“I remember hitting right off the tee into the trees on the last hole when I had to make birdie to tie Mahan, and I didn’t have a (clear) shot so had to chip out ... it was disappointing,” Day said yesterday.
Day settled for a share of second with Stuart Appleby. Although he won the event the following year, Day admits there is some unfinished business at Ridgewood CC.
“Definitely; I know can contend here,” Day said ahead of the Northern Trust, which started overnight.
