US PGA Championship: 25/1 winner

Day’s winning score deserves respect

The player to carry our stake money in North Carolina is another recent champion in Jason Day. The 29-year-old Australian claimed this crown in 2015 at Whistling Straits, Wisconsin. Day handed in a tally of 20 under par to get his hands on the winner’s cheque, and that would’ve been enough to score in any of the last 10 renewals. That remains his only major title so far, but he has finished runner-up at both the Masters and US Open.

The former world number one has endured a bit of a rollercoaster year, on and off course, but arrives in high spirits, telling reporters this week that he plans to stop expecting so much from himself and get back to enjoying golf. Having taken time away from the sport for family reasons, he’s now back and determined to return to the number one spot.

Take advantage of our 10 places each-way

We have faith he’ll do just that. Capping a tough 2017 with another US PGA title – wouldn’t that be something special? The challenges of Quail Hollow will play to Jason Day’s strengths, if he can handle the forecast rain. It’s all about length off the tee here, something that’s never been a problem for the selection, and the tournament will be won and lost with the driver in hand.

Fancy Day to come out on top? Coral are giving 25/1 that we’re right, and those stuck on the fence can take full advantage of our incredible each-way terms of 1/5 the odds the best 10. There are a number of ways to back Day – he’s 33/1 to be first round leader, 5/4 for a top-20 finish or 11/8 jolly to be the top Australian.
