Despite struggles off the tee, Jason Day shares WGC-Bridgestone lead with Scott Piercy

AKRON, Ohio – World No. 1 Jason Day walked off the 14th green after rescuing another par at Firestone Country Club and whispered to a reporter, “I’ll find the course sooner or later.” He managed to hit the 18th fairway with his driver when the ball bounced off a tree and into the short stuff, but Day wasn’t kidding about his wildness off the tee. Afterward, Day told CBS he felt like Mr. Havercamp (“Oh golly, I’m hot today!”) from Caddyshack.

“I had no idea where my ball was going,” Day said.

A day earlier, he said he felt like a 10-marker playing alongside Adam Scott’s tee-to-green stripe show.
