Day takes one-shot lead at World Cup
Print Edition
Australia’s Jason Day will take a one-shot lead in what promises to be an emotionally charged final round of the World Cup of Golf in Melbourne.
Day overhauled second-round leader Thomas Bjorn of Denmark with three birdies in his closing six holes yesterday, in a score of 66 for an overall 9-under par tally on a bright but testing day at the Royal Melbourne course.
Bjorn let slip his grip on the individual trophy, with a level-par 71 to remain at 8 under. American Matt Kuchar shot a 68 to be in third place at 6 under.
Day and fellow Australian Adam Scott also lead the team event by one shot with Scott recording a second straight 68 to be just ahead of the defending United States duo of Kuchar and Kevin Streelman (74).
Day came to the contest with the tragic news of the death in the Philippines of his grandmother, six cousins and an uncle in Typhoon Haiyan.
His Filipino-born mother, Dening, traveled down from Brisbane and met with her US-based son early yesterday.
“It was great to catch up with my mum,” he said.
“It was just good to see her as I am glad she got to come out to the golf course. She and about eight of my family will be out there tomorrow so it promises to be a very special last day.”
