Well, three days later and the 27-year-old now has his third win in his last four starts. A 7-under third round 63 on Saturday rocketed him up the leaderboard and back into contention, which is pretty much where he's been every weekend since February. Then he just turned it on Sunday again with a 62 and annihilated the field's chances early in the back nine.

The six-shot win had both Jim Nantz and Nick Faldo hailing him as the best player in the world ... right now. It's all a matter of framing. Jordan Spieth is the best player in the world if you measure this year. Rory McIlroy will be No. 1 in the world come Monday morning's rankings, which take the last two years into account. But it's hard to argue anyone is playing better than Day right now and he's now No. 1 in the FedExCup standings and making a run at that same spot in the world rankings. It's great start to the postseason and reaffirmed the notion that Day has the talent to join Rory and Jordan to make this a "Big 3" battle for the next 20 years or so.

Great to see.

Funny thing is we were all thinking Adam Scott was the great hope a couple of years back, (and he has done very well) but Day has certainly changed that thinking and its hard to say who will come out on top in the long term.
