Jason Day leads BMW Championship with record-tying 124

When it disappeared into the cup for an 8-under-par 63, a PGA Tour record-tying 36-hole score of 18-under and a five-shot lead at the BMW Championship, Day pumped his fist as playing partners Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler broke into widening grins and then applause.

After heavy rain forced a suspension of the opening round, Day returned to Conway Farms early Friday needing to hole a 44-yard wedge shot for an eagle that would have given him a 59 and tied another tour record.

[...] he hit a low pitch that skidded to a stop 10 feet from the hole, narrowly missed his first putt and settled for a 61.

Day has won three times — including his first major, the PGA Championship — and is an aggregate 97-under in tournament play since a narrow miss at the British Open in late July.

Hull rolled in seven birdies, including five in a row on the back nine, as she and Gwladys Nocera of France defeated American rookie Alison Lee and Angela Stanford 3 and 2 for the home team’s fourth point.

Lucas Bjerregaard of Finland and Jens Fahrbring of Sweden shared a two-shot lead after the second round of the Italian Open at Golf Club Milano in Monza.
