Jason Day, co-leader in the second leg of the FedEx Cup at the Deutsche Bank Championship, has toyed with golf fans long enough.

We have seen him in the lead or close to it on the weekend in so many big events, most notably the majors, only to falter in the end.

Will this be the tournament that puts him over the top?  Should he actually go on to win it, he will be the clear favorite to take the FedEx Cup and its whopping $10 million purse.



He put himself in that position by finishing in a tie for second at The Barclays just one week ago.  

Holding the lead for much of the day, the 26-year-pld Aussie wavered down the stretch to tie Ryan Palmer at eight under par.  

The round was typical of Day’s performances in big events where he waffles between brilliant and errant play.  At one point, he was 29-of-29 on putts within 10 feet.  Then, he bogeyed the final hole by missing that exact putt to finish three under for the day.

We have come to expect this type of play from Day who has been so close to winning big events in the past.  This year alone he tied for fourth at the U.S. Open, tied for 15th at the PGA Championship and finished in a tie for 20th at the Masters.

Last year, he tied for second at the U.S. Open where he finished alone in that position in 2011.

He also had a memorable final-day run at the 2011 Masters only to finish in a tie for second behind  Charl Schwartzel who won the event by two strokes.

At the Deutsche Bank, he still has to contend with a clamoring group of top players led by Matt Kuchar, who went five under to move into a tie for third place with Billy Horschel, including U.S. Open winner Martin Kaymer at five under, 2011 PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley (-5) and a slew of hungry young players such as Patrick Reed (-6), Russell Henley (-6), Russell Knox (-5) and Jordan Spieth (-5)....
