SYDNEY (AP) — Defending
champion Jordan Spieth
struggled in gusty after-
noon winds Thursday at the
Australian Open, while Ja-
son Day took advantage
of more calm morning
conditions.
The result was that the tour-
nament’s marquee players
were overshadowed by
first-round leader Cameron
Davis, who shot an 8-under
63 at The Australian Golf
Club.
That left Day, making his
first competitive appear-
ance in his home country
since 2013, three strokes
behind after a 66.
Spieth was seven strokes
behind after shooting 70.
Spieth, who bogeyed his
first two holes and ap-
peared to be out of sorts
for most of his round, is try-
ing to win the Australian
Open for the third time in
four years.
