TROON, Scotland - Jason Day returns to The Open one year after coming up inches short of getting into a playoff for the 144th edition of The Open. Since then, even calling it "torrid" might not do justice to the streak the current world No. 1 has been on. After St. Andrews, Day won the very next week at the RBC Canadian Open, went on to secure his first career major at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, added two FedEx Cup Playoff events (Barclays and BMW), the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a WGC (Dell Match Play), and The Players for good measure.
