AKRON, Ohio (AP) – Jason Day wanted to expand his lead Saturday in the Bridgestone Invitational.
He was happy just to keep a share of it.
Spraying tee shots all over Firestone, Day spent most of the afternoon scrambling for par until he made a 35-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole that settled him down in a hard-earned round of 1-under 69 to share the lead with Scott Piercy.
“I felt like Mr. Haverkamp out of ‘Caddyshack’ trying to find his golf ball and not knowing where the golf hole goes,” Day said.
But he could find the bottom of the cup, including three par putts of at least 8 feet.
