The Australian and former world No. 1 fires 3-under 67, three shots ahead of Max Homa and four in front of a foursome tied for third.

Day followed his 63 in the opening round with five birdies amid pelting rain at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, where preferred lies were granted, standing water gathered throughout the course and some players, including Day, removed their sponsor-emblazoned caps for good when they became soaked.

In a larger sense, Day has been attempting to find his way for the past few years. His last win in a PGA Tour event was at the 2018 Wells Fargo Championship when it was at Quail Hollow, the tournament’s regular home in Charlotte that is hosting the Presidents Cup in late September, thus leading to the move to the D.C. suburbs.Day reached his career pinnacle in 2015, becoming the first player to go 20 under par at a major when he beat Jordan Spieth by three strokes at Whistling Straits.

“All the work that I put in kind of in the offseason, off weeks, it’s starting to show a lot of signs, and I’m finding a lot of confidence in that swing,” Day said. “Every now and then it kind of falls back to some of that old stuff, but big thing for me is just to not kind of panic and just take a step back and go through my shots and trust it the best I can. And if I can do that, hopefully I’m somewhere, if not leading, come Sunday.”Homa, who started his round on No.
