Jason Day bounced back from his recent back injuries with a brilliant 62 at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut today to give himself a chance of his first win in three years on the tour.
Day, who withdrew from the Memorial Tournament because of his chronic back injury recently, then missed his first US Open in 11 years, was on song with the putter at TPC River Highlands.
At nine-under he was in a share of the lead when he tapped in at the ninth hole, his last of the day.
Seven birdies thru 15 holes today.

The 33-year-old Australian jumped to the top of the leaderboard with a five-metre birdie putt at the par-four seventh hole, then made good saves for par at the eighth and ninth. He had eight birdies for the day and went bogey-free.
The most recent of his 12 PGA Tour wins was the Wells Fargo Championship in May, 2018.
