OAKVILLE, Ontario (Reuters) - Four days after his near-miss at the British Open, Jason Day has exhibited no ill-effects from that Monday finish and his transatlantic flight to Canada.

The Australian world number nine checked in with a sparkling six-under-par 66 for a 10-under total to trail early second-round leader Chad Campbell of the United States by four shots at the RBC Canadian Open on Friday.

Brian Harman was alone at 12 under after firing a 67, finishing the round a stroke in front of fellow American Johnson Wagner (66) and Canadian David Hearn (64).
