Day Stretches BMW Championship Lead to Five Shots

LAKE FOREST, Illinois — Red-hot Jason Day extended his lead and continued to dominate the golf world as he stormed five shots clear after the second round of the BMW Championship at Conway Farms Golf Club on Friday.

The Australian world number three backed up his opening 61 with an eight-under 63, including a 43-foot eagle putt at the last, to rocket to 18-under 124 in the third of the PGA Tour's four FedExCup playoff events.

"Usually it's hard to back up a big round and shoot a low one again but fortunately for us, we had calmer conditions today," Day told reporters.
