Playing much more like the guy who was the best golfer in the world at the end of last year after he T4 the Open, then won the RBC Canadian, followed by the PGA Championship to start a ride that saw him win 5 times and had him vying for Player of the Year honours, 28 year old Aussie Jason Day scrambled to a -2 70 to hold off the field for a 2 shot lead going into today's play at this year's Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Periods of heavy rain moved into NE Florida so officials moved up the starting times, ensuring everyone finished their rounds and Day is at the top with a -15 201 total good for that 2 shot lead over Henrik Stenson (70), Troy Merritt (67) and Kevin Chappell (67), all at -13.
In fact Stenson who simply excels at Bay Hill with 4 top 10 finishes, briefly took the lead with an eagle at the 6th, but Day regained his lead with a birdie at the 8th, and he never relinquished it.
David Hearn is playing well this week and after another 71 he finds himself at -7 T13. Adam Hadwin shot +1 73, and is T46 at -2.
The story coming into the week was the stunning play of Adam Scott and I can report he is currently T6 -6 with rounds of 67 73 70.
