NORTON, Massachusetts (Reuters) - Jason Day kept his spectacular run of form going as he moved into contention for the Deutsche Bank Championship on Friday, ending the opening round three shots behind surprise leader Brendon de Jonge.

While American world number two Jordan Spieth struggled for a second week in a row, Day put himself in good position to vie for a fourth PGA Tour win in five starts by carding a three-under-par 68 on a tricky day for scoring at the TPC Boston.
