Jason Day marches to Canadian Open triumph with fine end to final round

Jason Day birdied his last three holes to claim victory in the Canadian Open.

The Australian successfully made a 20-foot putt on the 18th hole to move to 17-under par, and neither David Hearn or Bubba Watson, who sat two shots behind him, could keep up to force a playoff.

Day hit a round of 68, while Hearn, who was the overnight leader, could only manage a 72 despite firing birdies on the first two holes.

Watson eventually finished second, after Hearn scored five on the final hole.

Veteran American Jim Furyk recorded his fourth top-five finish of the season with a round of 68, while Tom Hoge and former Open champion Stewart Cink came fifth.
