World
Number 1 Jason Day is determined to retain his place on top of the world but it
could change this week.

Day spoke
ahead of his title defence at the PGA Championship of his desire to finish out
the year as the World Number 1.

However he
will need to ensure he plays well this week to prevent U.S. Open Champion
Dustin Johnson overtaking him.

"I really want to finish No. 1 in the world at the end of
the year. But I think the biggest thing for me is to really understand what I
need to do to win each week or get myself into contention," said Day.

"Winning takes care of everything. I think that’s probably
more concerning for me is I just need to feel, even though I’m comfortable with
winning, I need to get back to the point where I feel like I go out there and
win every single week."

"I really enjoy being up at the top of the World Rankings
and I really want to see how far I can take myself in my career to see how long
I can hold it there."

The OWGR
ranking for the 98^th PGA Championship stands at 923 which ties the highest ever achieved by an
event in the history of the Official World Golf Ranking.

As with all
Major Championships the winner will receive 100 OWGR Points.

The 94^th
PGA Championship won by Rory McIlroy at Kiawah Island Golf Resort also had an
OWGR Event Rating of 923.
