ORLANDO, Fla. –– Jason Day’s strategy for the second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational changed when he entered the driving range on Friday and his shots were traveling 10 yards shorter than normal.
Day, going off the 10th tee just after 8 a.m., knew his shot distances were going to be hindered by the cooler morning weather. Thus he would start his day playing more conservatively.
“Today I had 172 yards into the 10th hole (his first hole) and hit 7-iron where that is usually an 8-iron for me,” Day said. “It was a club difference in the morning, and once it started heating up I could go back to normal distances.
