We have a new No. 1 in the world of golf and it's the Aussie who is on a streak that has people comparing him to the dominance of Tiger Woods at his peak.

"I actually think he's playing superior golf to Tiger in 2000, as far as shooting low scores." That Johnny Miller went and compared Jason Day's current run, even if it does seem hyperbolic, to what most consider the greatest golf ever played should give you a sense of just how special and dominant the Aussie is right now. After matching the PGA Tour record with an absurd 124 strokes through his first 36 holes, Day spent most of the weekend in cruise control and coasted to a six-shot win at the BMW Championship.

The convincing win was Day's fourth victory in his last six starts. He joins Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh as the only players in the last 20 years to post five PGA Tour victories in the same season. And perhaps most importantly to the 27-year-old, he's the new No. 1 player in the world. Aussie writer Ben Everill, who is close with Day and follows his almost every round, admitted the win was not a major but the feat of getting to No. 1 was just as important as a major title to him. He's the third Aussie to reach the pinnacle of the world rankings, and the youngest ever from the country to get there (Greg Norman and Adam Scott were the previous Aussies at No. 1).

Send the poms and closet poms back in leaky boats and bring in more Asians.
