Declaring that 35-year-old Jason Day is back after winning the AT&T Byron Nelson on Sunday is a bit premature, but he is certainly trending in that direction. His 13th PGA Tour victory snapped a 5-year, 8-day winless streak (105 starts) and was his seventh top-10 finish in 16 starts this season. Now Day heads to this week's PGA Championship, which he won in 2015. Day has the chance to become the first player since Rory McIlroy in 2014 to win on Tour and win a major the following week.
