AKRON, Ohio – As Jason Day strode to the podium in the media center following his third round at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, he took off his hat and simply scratched his head.
“Bloody hell,” he said with a sigh.
It’s not the typical refrain you’d expect from someone who shares the 54-hole lead, but it’s a bit more understandable after reviewing the stat sheet from Day’s third-round 69.
The driver that has contributed to so many wins in recent months contributed only to his stuggles Saturday, as the Aussie hit the first fairway with a 4-iron and proceeded to miss the next 11 fairways in a row.
