Double win for Jason Day at World Cup of Golf

Australia Jason Day holds off the challenge of Denmark's Thomas Bjorn to win individual and team honours at the World Cup of Golf at Royal Melbourne.

Australian Jason Day has won individual and team honours at the World Cup of Golf, two weeks after losing eight relatives in Typhoon Haiyan.

The 26-year-old, who has a Filipino-born mother, opted to play at Royal Melbourne despite the deaths in the Philippines of his grandmother, six young cousins and an uncle.

The overnight leader had two bogeys and two birdies in his first five holes, before he chipped in with his second-shot approach to the par-four sixth for an eagle that took him four clear of Thomas Bjorn.

However, the duo were level after the 13th, with Day dropping two shots at the 10th following a poor tee shot and Bjorn picking up strokes with a pair of birdies shortly after the turn.

Both players missed the green on their approach to the 16th, but Day showed his powers of recovery to save par and move one clear of his Danish rival, who could only bogey.

Another wild shot into the 18th from the experienced European saw his challenge effectively ended, and three-time Major runner-up Day went on to secure a two-shot victory by rolling in his par putt.

His compatriot Adam Scott carded a final-round 66 to finish third on seven under and see Australia beat second-placed United States by 10 shots to win the team title for the first time in 24 years.
