ILLINOIS. — Jason Day claimed his fourth victory in six starts and surged to the world number one golf ranking after going wire-to-wire to win the BMW Championship by six shots on Sunday.

The Australian closed out his tournament with a two-under-par 69 to finish at 22-under 262 at Conway Farms, six clear of American rookie Daniel Berger (69) in the third of the PGA Tour’s four FedExCup playoff events.

American Scott Piercy (70) was third at 15-under with Rickie Fowler (69), Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland (70) and JB Holmes (68) sharing fourth at 14-under. “The way I feel about my game, confidence level has been the highest I’ve ever had in my entire life,” Day said. — AFP.
