Jason Day's baffling 18-shot improvement

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Before Thursday, the last time Jason Day played a competitive round at the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course, he shot 81.

Count 'em up: There were three bogeys, two doubles and even an unseemly triple on the scorecard. It was all so ugly that one year later, Day has basically erased that day from his memory bank.

"I can't really remember too much," he admitted. "I've got a really bad memory, which is kind of a good thing in golf, I guess."

Kind of? Having a bad memory might be the best explanation for how he's started his week.
