SPRINGFIELD, NJ -- Jason Day made a double bogey at the par-4 7th hole on Friday to drop back to even par for the championship, well off the lead held by Jimmy Walker at the time. The world's No. 1 player was in desperate need a rally to get back into contention going into the weekend, and rally he did.

Day made seven birdies in his next eight holes to charge up the leaderboard to T3 along with Emiliano Grillo, two shots behind the leaders Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb.
