Jordan Spieth may have been the story in the first part of the 2015 golf season, but as the season hits its stretch run, nobody is hotter than Jason Day.

The Australian star ran away with The Barclays in Edison, New Jersey, and in winning the first of the FedEx Cup playoff tournaments, Day has moved into the lead in the FedEx Cup point standings.

Day, who picked up his first major victory at the PGA Championship in Kohler, Wisconsin two weeks ago, shot a 19-under-par 261, giving him a six-stroke victory over runner-up Henrik Stenson. Day was especially hot in the final two rounds of the tournament, as he closed with rounds of 63-62. 

Day has won three of his last four tournaments, and he is on the kind of roll that could lead him to the FedEx Cup championship in September. Day has won four tournaments overall this season.

"It's been a special summer for me, and it's not over," Day told the Associated Press after winning the tournament (h/t Golf.com). "To be able to play the way I did over the weekend is fantastic. Today was just phenomenal golf."



In addition to moving past Spieth in FedEx Cup points, he is the third-ranked golfer in the world behind Rory McIlroy and Spieth. Any one of those three players could end up with the No. 1 ranking by the conclusion of next week's Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston.

Day has been playing scintillating golf. In his last five tournaments, he finished tied for fourth, first, tied for 12th, first and first.

Walk it out, Jason Day. #QuickHits http://t.co/LgK1JwQzjT
