Can anyone stop the Jason Day freight train heading to Boston?

September 02, 2015

Incredibly, in the span of one just over a year we've seen three different golfers go on historically hot runs. First came Rory McIlroy winning the final two majors of 2014. Then came Jordan Spieth winning the first two majors of 2015. And now, Jason Day is on a run that could eclipse them all. Golf's new "Big Three" have captivated fans everywhere and done the unthinkable: make people actually care and pay attention to the Official World Golf Ranking. At this week's Deutsche Bank Championship, all three have a chance to claim the top spot -- temporarily making the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus they're competing for an afterthought. Which -- if any -- of those guys do I like at TPC Boston? Here's my weekly PGA Tour Fantasy Golf lineup:

Jason Day: Duh. The red-hot Aussie is coming off two consecutive wins in which he set tournament scoring records and won by a combined nine shots. Day has had plenty of success at the Deutsche Bank as well, finishing at least 10 under par in five of his last six trips to Beantown. After his win at Plainfield, which included nearly 150 feet of made putts in the final round, Day said he feels like he's putting like Jordan Spieth these days. Good luck, folks.
