Jason Day of Australia celebrates on the 18th green after his six-stroke victory at The Barclays on August 30, 2015 in Edison, New Jersey

Edison (United States) (AFP) - Jason Day romped to a six-stroke victory in the Barclays on Sunday to seize the lead in the US PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoff chase.

The Aussie, who ended a run of major heartbreak with his first Grand Slam title at the PGA Championship this month, backed up that triumph in style.

He fired eight birdies in an eight-under-par 62 for a 72-hole total of 19-under 261 at Plainfield Country Club.
