Ranked Top Golfer, Day Dream Comes True

LAKE FOREST, Illinois, Sep 20 — Jason Day has always struggled to sleep but the 27-year-old Australian's weekend at the BMW Championship was more restless than most.

His insomnia did not stem from trying to win the tournament, he had won three in his last five starts, or maintain his place atop the lucrative FedEx Cup standings.

What kept him awake was the fact that he was about to fulfil a long-cherished dream -- of becoming golf's top ranked player.

"It's been very, very difficult for me to try and downplay getting to number one because I've really wanted to reach this goal for a very long time now," Day said after his six-shot victory.
