Australias Jason Day has rallied from a perilous US PGA Tour playoff situation to make the cut for the Deutsche Bank Championship.Days chances of playing beyond the second round took a massive hit when he made a quadruple bogey 8 on the fifth hole.But the world No.1, who had to make a hasty exit from the tournament after the first round when his wife Ellie and their two children were involved in a car accident, managed to regain his composure to card an even-par 71 finish at one-under after 36 holes.He sits in a tie for 62nd at TPC Boston, but only after making birdies at the 12th, 14th and 15th holes.Adam Scott is the best-placed Australian at four-under par after firing a 67 to be in a tie for 30th.Marc Leishman is two shots behind Scott after a one-over par 72 while Aaron Baddeley finished at one-under par to be tied with Day.Day and Baddeley are 10 strokes behind the leader Kevin Chappell who shot a seven-under par 64. As Days fortunes fluctuated, Chappell did just about everything right.Even when making his lone bogey. Chappell pitched in for eagle on No.7 and made a 35-foot birdie putt on the next hole.Even better was the 15-foot bogey putt on the 13th hole, and his great escape from a bad shot when trying to lay up on the par-5 18th.He was at 11-under 131, one shot ahead of PGA champion Jimmy Walker (64) and Paul Casey (66).Phil Mickelson missed the cut for only the second time in a FedEx Cup playoff event, making a double bogey on his final hole for a 72.The cut was at one-under 141 and also missing it was Bubba Watson.Chappell already has three runner-up finish this summer, two of them to Day.The next 36 holes are going to seem like a long time for me but I feel comfortable in this situation and each time I get near the lead I feel more comfortable, the 30-year-old said.I feel like Ive handled myself well in the situations Ive been in this year and can really pull from that.At some point in the next 36 holes its not going to go my way, and its going to be about how I handle that.Vijay Singh and Web Simpson were among 13 players who were at No.70 or lower in the FedEx Cup to miss the cut, ending their season.

It was always going to be a really tough event. Its the benchmark event for a lot of countries and it can really affect the way the whole team performs having that big event up front.So it was a big build-up, but I think we were probably on par with how we wanted to perform as a relay team. We went with the tactics of putting the strongest swimmers at the back of the relay and it panned out all right. It could have gone better but it definitely could have gone much worse. So it was probably right on par with expectations.Obviously there was very high expectations of the wider swim team, and potentially some of those werent met. Olympic gold medals are very hard to win; I can speak from first-hand experience about that.Its hard as an Australian swimmer peaking at that time of the year. The way our trials are set up in April, we have to be peaking then to make the tea, and then youve got maintain those high standards throughout a full Australian, winter which is a really tough thing to do. In summer, most of us train outdoors, were getting up early; but its all bearable because its nice weather and everyone is enjoying themselves.But then youve got to go through winter and thats often when things can fall apart a little, and I think that probably happened on a couple of occasions with swimmers on the team. And then theres the pressure that comes with an Olympic Games, and I think a few people probably struggled with that as well. And thats completely understandable. But I think a few more people will understand now how hard it is to win an Olympic gold medal, and you certainly cant underestimate thaat ever.ddddddddddddWeve got to look at our preparation and I think the time has come to follow the United States lead in staging the Olympic trials much closer to the Games themselves. Judging on the results from the past 20 years or so, the Americans swim fast at their trials and then back it up again at the Games; and then its only a month gap so the swimmers you pick are in form.Were picking swimmers in April and asking them to perform in August, and all sorts of things can happen in between times. I definitely think the American system is the one to follow because theyre the ones winning gold medals.One guy who had no trouble performing was Kyle Chalmers. His gold medal swim in the 100 was superb and I had a sneaky feeling he was a good chance after watching him swim in the relay. He was completely oblivious to the pressure and expectation, and was handling everything perfectly. I had a strong feeling that he could go on with it.I think Cam McEvoy was feeling the pinch a little and Ive experienced that myself a bit going in as the favourite; there was a lot of pressure and expectation on him. But Kyle was just in the perfect position and even the way the race panned out, everything worked perfectly in his favour. It was a brilliant swim.All in all, everyone got along really well -- there was a lot of camaraderie within the Australian team. I think the way that everyone backed each other and supported each other regardless if there were gold medals or fifth, sixth, seventh place finishes of whatever, it was a testament to the strength and unity of the team as a whole.We probably didnt havent the same expectations as a team in London that we did this time, but certainly there was a greater sense of cohesion and togetherness on the team this time around.
