AKRON, Ohio – Jason Day wrapped up his first round at the Bridgestone Invitational – another ho-hum 67 for the World No. 1 – and headed to go fishing. The other night he caught a large-mouth bass while his caddie Colin Swatton settled for a brim. Yet another victory for Day, he boasted.
Such is life in the fast lane for the entitled at the no-cut, 61-man (now down to 58) World Golf Championship event at Firestone Country Club. Daniel Berger took one swing, a 307-yard tee shot, withdrew citing a shoulder surgery and took home $50,500. The money is unofficial and he won’t receive any FedEx Cup points, but reportedly it spends the same.
