After the best players in the world tore up Whistling Straits in near perfect scoring conditions on moving day, what will they do for an encore Sunday?

There was no rain and hardly any wind at the Kohler, Wisconsin, course, and Jason Day took advantage of those conditions to shoot a six-under 66, allowing him to take a two-stroke lead as he reached 15 under for the PGA Championship.
