Day hangs on for wire-to-wire victory at Bay Hill

Jason Day became only the fourth player to win wire-to-wire at Bay Hill with a final-round 70 for a one-stroke win over Kevin Chappell. Here's how it all went down Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational:

Leaderboard: Jason Day (-17), Kevin Chappell (-16), Troy Merritt (-14), Henrik Stenson (-14), Zach Johnson (-12)

What it means: Day didn't have his best stuff on Sunday, making three bogeys on the front nine, two of them on par 5s. But he steadied himself coming home with two back-nine birdies and a clutch up-and-down from a bunker behind the 18th green to capture his sixth victory in the last 13 months, tying him with world No.
