QUOTE OF THE WEEK

‘I felt like I went 10 rounds out there, fighting against myself. I didn’t drive it very well and my iron play wasn’t great either, but I had a really good day on and around the greens.’ Europe and America’s finest have dominated the golf landscape for the past few years but, after a couple of fallow seasons, it seems that Australian Jason Day is now ready to rejoin the elite after claiming his second title of the season in North Carolina on Sunday. If you can win when you have not got your best stuff, it augurs well for a summer where the 30-year-old Day should be contending in the majors once more. Of the last 17 to have been contested, Day is the only one to break the Euro-US stranglehold with his USPGA Championship victory in 2015.
