Correction. In the excitement of Jason Day’s stunning six shot Barclays Championship we were incorrect to report Day thus became the first Australian to win four times in a single season on the PGA Tour. It had been brought up in Day’s post final round New Jersey press conference he had ‘created history’ and naturally Day responded accordingly how proud he was to achieve the feat.
