Jason will have his Day at number one, says Thomson (Reuters)

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Jason Day's bid for the world number one ranking stalled at the Deutsche Bank Championship but it should only be a matter of time before the Australian scales the mountain, according to five-times British Open champion Peter Thomson.

Victory at Deutsche Bank would have handed Day the top ranking but the fatigued 27-year-old hit the wall at TPC Boston and finished in a tie for 12th, nine strokes behind American winner Rickie Fowler.

Day is still top of the FedExCup standings after winning the opening Barclays tournament but will stay world number three.
