Jason Day was relieved to bounce back from a slow start to claim a narrow win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and close the gap on Jordan Spieth at the top of the world rankings. Francisco Silva Chile Jersey . The PGA champion survived a rollercoaster final round to complete a wire-to-wire victory at Bay Hill, with a two-under 70 helping him to finish one-stroke clear of nearest challenger Kevin Chappell.Day let a three-shot lead over the front nine during a day where four players held at least a share of the lead, but posted two birdies after the turn and holed a four-foot putt for victory at the last. Victory lifts Day above McIlroy in to second spot in the world rankings and means he could move to world No 1 at next weeks WGC-Dell Match Play, but the Australian admits he had to dig deep to see out a first win of 2016. Day was greeted by tournament host Arnold Palmer after his final round Sleeping on a two-shot lead and winning wire-to-wire wasnt easy, Day told Sky Sports. This was a really rewarding win for me and to be able to make the par at the last when I needed to was very satisfying. There was not one shot on the golf course I hit today where I felt comfortable.I tried to be as deliberate as possible and it worked out on the back side for me. I was really nervous over that putt [on 18] after being out of contention for a while. Day posted two birdies in a blemish-free back nine I was all out of sorts on the front side but I kept saying to myself over and over again you are not out of it, be patient, you will find some opening and once you do make sure you take it, and 17 was it.The biggest thing for me was to be able to feel being in contention again and to be able to get all of those competitive juices flowing again through my body and understand what that feels like.Encouraging signsAdam Scott missed out on the chance of becoming the first player since Rory McIlroy to win three consecutive PGA Tour events, with the Australian finishing another positive week in a tie for 12th. Scott had won the Honda Classic and the WGC-Cadillac Championship in his past two starts The world No 6 slipped out of contention with a final-hole triple-bogey on Saturday and made a similar mess of the 18th during his final round, ending a three-under 69 with a double-bogey.Its a little disappointing, Scott told Sky Sports. I really played better than my score showed this week and thats a positive sign.I felt I could have been up there, even though things werent quite firing in all cylinders like they were in the past couple of weeks. Scott had won the Honda Classic and the WGC-Cadillac Championship in his past two starts I really wasted a lot on 18! Yesterday was really difficult conditions and I was a bit unfortunate to plug in a bunker, but todays was just a poor shot.Ive been putting really well. Today was a bit spotty where I hit some good putts but a few that came up surprisingly short coming in. All in all Ive made a lot of putts and thats a really good thing for the confidence.The confidence then builds with the results and now its all in a good spot, so Ive just got to maintain it the best I can and keep going.The PGA Tour heads to Texas next for the WGC-Dell Match Play.

JOHNS, N.SAN DIEGO - From the moment Orioles fans shouted out "O!" during the national anthem, it was clear it was going to be Baltimores night at Petco Park. Adam Jones tied his career-high with four hits, including a home run against his hometown Padres, and Bud Norris wiggled out of some jams to win his second straight start with the Orioles, 4-1 against San Diego on Tuesday night. "The coolest part of it was the O! during the national anthem," said Jones, who went to San Diegos Morse High. "There were a lot of guys down the third base line and they screamed right in our ear. I think it shocked us a little bit and got us going a little bit. Thats cool." Jones drove in two runs and scored twice. Several of his family members and friends were at the game. "Its cool to hear the cheers and all that stuff, but were here to play a baseball game," he said. "I have all off-season to hang out with them. Im just glad we got the win." Jones homered into the balcony on the second level of the Western Metal Supply Co. brick warehouse in the left field corner at Petco Park leading off the fourth off Edinson Volquez. It was his 23rd. Jones singled in the first to bring in Nate McClouth, aboard on a leadoff double. He singled and scored on Chris Davis double in the eighth. Jones, who went to San Diegos Morse High, hit a two-run homer when the Orioles visited Petco Park in 2010. Norris (8-9) struck out five and walked two. The Padres had three straight singles to open the sixth, including Yonder Alonsos RBI base hit that pulled San Diego to 2-1. Norris then retired the side on a strikeout, a fly ball and a popup, stranding runners at second and third. San Diegos Will Venable tripled leading off the first and was stranded as Norris retired the side on two groundouts and a strikeout. In the second, the Padres had runners on first and third with no outs before Norris struck out Logan Forsythe and got Nick Hundley to hit into a double play. "A big momentum boost for sure," Norris said about getting out of the early jams. "A leadoff triple is never the way you want to start a game, but in this ballpark youve got to put up a lot of zeeroes. Edinson Cavani Uruguay Jersey. There are not a lot of high scoring games here. Anyway you can leave a man stranded is huge. Ive got to execute my pitches and get out of it and I got lucky tonight."

"This team, you can see it in our eyes, were all competitors. We dont like to give anything away. Hes fitting right into the mould of the team. Its no-nonsense, get the job done and no excuses. Hes given us a big lift." Manager Buck Showalter agreed. "Hes on attack mode," Showalter. "His buttons on most of the time." Said Padres manager Bud Black: "He did what he does. He throws the fastball in the low 90s and he throws the slider. He didnt do anything we didnt expect. There were a couple of at-bats there that werent very good." Jim Johnson pitched the ninth for his 39th save, tops in the majors. Volquez (9-8) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings, struck out six and walked two.
