After a whirlwind trip to get to Hawaii this week, Day opening 73 wasn't a surprise, but he furnished one in today's stellar comeback. Wielding a driver on the tee box at the par-4 13th hole, he hit it fat.The ball came to rest 106 yards and just into the fairway. From there, he hit another driver into a fairway bunker, then blasted to 17'5" from where he converted the par putt.
Afterwards, he said that it was the best par of his life. It also overshadowed a pair of longer birdie putts -- 33'10" and 19'11" at the second and 11th holes, respectively -- but he seemed to have enjoyed the embarrassing display, essentially smiling his way through the 13th. Oh, and he's just three back of the clubhouse lead at the midpoint.
