LAKE FOREST, Ill. – The bye week came at a perfect time for Jason Day.
The hottest player on the planet said he was “running on fumes” at the Deutsche Bank Championship, where he was coming off consecutive victories and had a chance to move to No. 1 in the world for the first time in his career.
With his swing still grooved, he managed a 12th-place finish in Boston, but he was frustrated by a number of uncharacteristic mental errors that he attributed to fatigue.
After the second playoff event, Day shelved his clubs for four days and resumed practicing over the weekend.
