Could Day's winless drought come to a halt in Houston?

HOUSTON - Jason Day is accustomed to the question. "How's your health?" he was asked after his second round of the Vivint Houston Open. "I feel like I've had that question a lot in my career," Day said Friday. "Yeah, I feel pretty good." He had to like his position on the leaderboard as well. After shooting a second-round 68, Day was just two strokes behind leader Sam Burns after the morning wave. The last time Day was in contention on the PGA TOUR, he withdrew just one hole into the final round of THE CJ CUP @ SHADOW CREEK. He was playing in the second-to-last group but had to walk off because of injury. Day, whose winless drought has lasted more than two years, has been working on swing changes to alleviate the back pain that has hampered him throughout his career. Day split with long-time swing coach Col Swatton in late July. There were some promising signs late in the summer, as Day posted four consecutive top-10s, including a T4 at the PGA Championship, to re-enter the top 50 in the world ranking. He hasn't finished better than T38 in his last six starts, however. "The form's been very inconsistent because I'm trying to change my swing a little bit just to try and help the back out," Day said Friday. "I guess I'm stuck in between patterns right now. What I want to feel, my body just won't handle it and sometimes it just compensates elsewhere. That's why it happened to my neck at CJ." Day's last win came at the 2018 Wells Fargo Championship. It was his second win in seven starts, but he hasn't hoisted a trophy in 53 events since. This is the first time he went back-to-back seasons without a win since he had three straight winless seasons from 2011-13. Day was 2 over par on his opening nine holes this week, but had eight birdies and just one bogey over his next 27 holes. The 30 he shot on his back nine Thursday was his lowest nine-hole score in more than a year. He has hit 14 greens in each of the first two rounds and is 6 for 8 in scrambling. The steep banks of short grass around Memorial Park's greens have challenged players, but Day, who led the TOUR in Strokes Gained: Around-the-Green last season, is known as a master scrambler. "It’s one of these golf courses, you leave yourself on the wrong side ... and you’re just struggling the whole day," Day said. "It’s one of those courses where you’ve just got to be patient and try to get your birdies when you can."

Power Rankings: Presidents CupPower Rankings: Presidents Cup

Back to the scene of the sublime. The Royal Melbourne Golf Club not only is the crown jewel of Australia’s famed Sandbelt region and among the best courses on the planet, it’s also the site of the International’s only victory in the Presidents Cup (1998). Of course, that same statement was loud and clear in 2011 when Royal Melbourne hosted the biennial competition for the second time, but as it returns for a third this week, the Internationals are saddled with a 1-10-1 record overall. Needless to say, the hosts have chips on their shoulders. Lots of them. Too many to go around, in fact. So, it’s proper that the veteran with maybe the broadest shoulders in the sport is out front leading the charge. International Captain Ernie Els celebrated with his squad 21 years ago (after contributing a 3-1-1 record himself) and he was there eight years ago when the U.S. avenged, 19-15. Now, he’ll navigate seven Presidents Cup debutants in the hopes of dismantling the juggernaut that is the visiting Americans, and in an age against the machine that is player-captain and 82-time PGA TOUR winner Tiger Woods. More on the event, the course and other nuggets beneath the full-field Power Rankings. POWER RANKINGS: PRESIDENTS CUP If you’re a loyalist to the Power Rankings for PGA TOUR events, the same for any team competition can come across as curious if consumed similarly. Furthermore, this Power Rankings is constructed in advance of the knowledge of partnerships, matchups, momentum and other variables that will contribute to the final score. In light of that, you’re encouraged to accept the ranking in the context of potential impact on the competition. Do the Internationals need a perfect week to prevail? Probably not, but with the pendulum of success over time swayed so favorably toward the Americans, there’s an argument that even a perfect week wouldn’t be enough to take down the visitors with puffed chests. Even when Brooks Koepka, he of four victories in the majors and current position atop the Official World Golf Ranking, exited for extended rest for his left knee, in an unintentional quid pro quo, Els had to replace four-time Presidents Cup veteran Jason Day, who withdrew due to an injured back. However, no matter which team wins, no one will rush to cite addition by subtraction of either talent. If the underdog hosts are keen on reasoning to argue that they have the upper hand early, they’re 3-0-1 in four-ball in the two previous editions at Royal Melbourne. For just the second time in the last 11 Presidents Cups, four-ball leads off this week with five matches on Thursday. Five foursomes matches will follow on Friday before four each of four-ball (morning) and foursomes (afternoon) command Saturday’s schedule. The Presidents Cup will conclude on Sunday with 12 matches of singles. This will be the third straight Presidents Cup in which only 30 points are up for grabs. The first to 15½ wins. If both teams total 15, they will share the title until meeting again at Quail Hollow Club in early fall of 2021. The battleground is the Composite Course at Royal Melbourne. Twelve holes of the West and six from the East blend for a par 71 with only three par 3s and two par 5s. At 7,047 yards, it’s about 50 yards longer than how it was set up in 2011. The most significant modifications affected the par-4 first, par-5 second and par-4 16th holes, all in the vicinity of 10-25 yards longer. The par-4 18th has been reduced by 10 yards. Of course, pars and yardage on a short course mean little in head-to-head competition. Moreover, Royal Melbourne is renown for the substantive value of quality over distance. Generous, running Bermudagrass fairways lead into open-door fairway bunkers. The absence of primary rough yields infinity edges of the hazards – approximately 200 of them in sum across the course – the ubiquitous characteristic of which is evident flush against the bentgrass greens that could run up to 13 feet on the Stimpmeter. The firmer and faster the course plays, particularly since distance off the tee is not a prerequisite to force even a halve, the more that Royal Melbourne can serve in the role as a governor of American domination in the Presidents Cup. Both captains are benefited by what is not an insignificant change in the format since 2017. Each of the 24 participants is required to play in only one of the four 2-on-2 matches before all tee it up in singles. Prior to this year, they were required to play in at least two team sessions. It’s one way for a squad not hitting on all cylinders in real time to adjust on the fly. With no rain expected and daytime highs in the upper 60s and low 70s, the only natural element worth attention is the invisible. Moderate-to-strong winds will challenge throughout. This could help balance the competition and it will also expose anyone struggling to find his game in foursomes and singles. Low ball flights and experience in playing the game on the ground are valuable tools.

"Si usted es un fanático del golf, esta es una temporada de ensueño que tendrá más eventos significativos que nunca antes, incluidos los Juegos Olímpicos. Crear nuestro calendario siempre ha sido complicado, pero nunca más que en los últimos meses en los que hemos seguido lidiando con los retos generados por la pandemia del COVID-19. Apreciamos la gran colaboración de nuestros patrocinadores titulares, las organizaciones de los torneos y de las entidades que rigen el golf para poder llegar hasta aquí, dando conclusión a una extraordinaria temporada 2019-20 esta semana y en la víspera de una temporada de 50 torneos que comenzará la semana próxima".

Tras la cuadragésima edición de The Honda Classic, evento del Tour que cuenta con el mismo patrocinador titular desde 1982, el más antiguo entre los vigentes, se vendrá un tramo de ocho semanas que incluirá seis torneos que fueron cancelados y no se reprogramaron durante la temporada 2019-20 antes del PGA Championship.
