LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Jason Day no longer has Col Swatton to lean on as a caddie, but he still has plenty of positives memories when it comes to strolling the fairways of Conway Farms Golf Club.
Day reached world No. 1 for the first time with a wire-to-wire victory here two years ago, and the Aussie also tied for fourth back when it hosted the BMW Championship in 2013. He again felt right at home Thursday, when he opened with a 7-under 64 that left him two shots behind Marc Leishman and marked his lowest score since a third-round 63 at the AT&T Byron Nelson in May.
