ATLANTA — Jason Day said he did not feel anything special after achieving a career goal by ascending to the world number one ranking with his emphatic victory at last week's BMW Championship.
"It doesn't feel like much. It doesn't feel like much at all," the 27-year-old Australian said on the eve of Thursday's opening round of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club.
Day gave evidence of the maturity that helped him shake off the disappointment of so many near misses at majors and break through at last month's PGA Championship as part of an amazing run of four wins from his last six tournaments.
