Bae matched shots with PGA champion Jason Day throughout the third round of the Barclays on Saturday until both finished at 7-under 63 and tied for the lead going into the final round at Plainfield Country Club in Edison, N.J. Suddenly, the opening FedEx Cup playoff event is loaded with significance beyond the $10 million bonus at the end of this four-tournament series. Day, just like he did on the par 5s at Whistling Straits when he won his first major two weeks ago, cracked a 343-yard drive down the middle on the 601-yard 16th hole, and then hit a 4-iron to 18 feet and holed it for eagle to tie for the lead. A victory by the 27-year-old Australian would be his fourth win of the year, tying him with Jordan Spieth for most on the PGA Tour this year, and allow him to join the race for No.
