Champ Kind Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (Reuters) - Jason Day lived up to his status as the world's number one golfer as he charged into an early two-shot lead with a record-tying nine-under-par 63 in Thursday's opening round of the Players Championship at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Taking advantage of a soft, receptive layout at the TPC Sawgrass where there was barely a breath of wind early on a sun-drenched day ripe for low scoring, the long-hitting Australian piled up nine birdies in a bogey-free display. "I played solid from tee to green and I was very confident with my putter," Day told Golf Channel after finishing two ahead of Americans Cameron Tringale, Bill Haas and Brendan Steele, England's Justin Rose and Ireland's Shane Lowry.
