Jason Day admits he’ll have to improve on his past record at Blue Monster if he is to put any kind of challenge on Jordan Spieth and find a return to form during the WGC-Cadillac Championship. The world No 2 has notoriously struggled around Doral, never previously reaching higher than tied-20th in four visits to Trump National, and found the water several times on his way to a joint-31st finish last time around.Day arrives in Florida off the back of an extended break after finishing in a tie for 11th at last months AT&T National Pro Am, one of only three appearances the PGA Champion has made on the PGA Tour during a quiet start to 2016. The Australian makes up part of the featured threeball alongside Spieth and Rory McIlroy and believes hell need to make fewer errors than he did last year if hes to make any kind of statement at the top of the world rankings. Its hard, because the golf course is very long, Day told a pre-tournament press conference. I dont play the course that bad. Its just the mistakes that kill me and Ive just got to try and be a little bit more conservative that way.The guys that are longer are tempted so much because youre either coming in with a long iron or a 3-wood to the par-fives. Day makes his fourth appearance of the season this week You get anything a little bit close to the water and everything kind of funnels in there. Unfortunately I was a little too aggressive last year.Day finished 15 shots behind Spieth when the pair met in Januarys Hyundai Tournament of Championship, with the Australians only other appearance this year being a missed cut when defending his Farmers Insurance Open title. Day has only made three appearances in the first 16 events on the PGA Tour this season Although Days early-season form hasnt replicated the run which him collect four wins in a six-tournament stretch during the second half of last 2015, the world No 2 doesnt think theres any pressure on start producing results.Im not panicking, Day added. Obviously coming back out and trying to play the way I did during the second half of the season last year, is going to be tough. A maiden major was one of five wins for Day during 2015 I wanted to come out pretty strong and keep that momentum going on from last year, but with the three-month break that I had, its hard to keep that momentum rolling.The body feels good and there are other guys out there that want to play their way into form. Im just taking it a tournament at a time and really just trying to prepare the best I can for this week.Watch the WGC-Cadillac Championship throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.

MOSCOW -- As far as Vladimir Putins anti-doping troubleshooter is concerned, Russias doping problems are nothing more than a glitch.Brought out of retirement by Putin to lead Russias future strategy on doping, 81-year-old Vitaly Smirnov is being called on to use his contacts from five decades in Olympic politics to lobby for Russian interests and play down the accusations of state-sponsored cheating.Even as Smirnov tries to build bridges with the IOC and World Anti-Doping Agency, and plans to address WADAs board on Sunday, Smirnov vehemently denies that the Russian government ran an industrial-scale doping program and cover-up, including at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.What has happened is a glitch. It doesnt have roots in any kind of practice which was happening over a long period of time, Smirnov, a former Soviet minister who spent 44 years as an International Olympic Committee member, told The Associated Press in an interview in his spacious office at the Russian Olympic Committee. There was no organized doping system on the state level. We believe that the participants in this were individuals, who were pursuing their own goals.Putins love of sports as a judo black belt and recreational hockey player means the Russian government couldnt have sponsored an East German-style doping scheme, Smirnov said.Ive known our president for 25 years. I got to know him when we were preparing the Goodwill Games in St. Petersburg in 1994. I know him still. I know hes an athlete, Smirnov says he told Richard McLaren, the Canadian lawyer who produced the WADA report accusing Russian officials of complicity. And as an athlete and head of state, its incompatible.Among those named in McLarens report in July were Deputy Sports Minister Yuri Nagornykh and the ministrys anti-doping adviser, Nataliya Zhelanova, both of whom are facing investigations from the Russian authorities and have since left their jobs. Even if officials like Nagornykh and Zhelanova are found to have been complicit, they should be seen as bad apples rather than part of a government conspiracy, Smirnov argues.Certain officials ... it doesnt mean the whole system, the whole ministry was taking part, he said.The second part of McLarens report is due out next month and could further tarnish the legacy of the Sochi Games. Smirnov has been in contact with McLaren and WADA President Craig Reedie.However, Smirnov is scathing in his condemnation for Grigory Rodchenkov, the former head of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory who turned star witness for WADA. Rodchenkov said he was involved in state-backed dopiing for years, providing doping substances to athletes and helping swap dirty samples for clean ones at the Sochi Games.ddddddddddddNow living in the United States, Rochenkov is facing an investigation by Russian authorities over the destruction of doping samples.Smirnov suggests Rodchenkov was motivated by money, not Russian state prestige.If you take the case of Rodchenkov, theres pure criminality. They were just, over the course of a fairly long period of time, falsifying results and getting money for that, Smirnov said, later adding: I am counting on objectivity in this whole case. The McLaren report is sadly built on the evidence of just one man. That man is facing a criminal case and an investigation is under way.Formally, Smirnovs role is as head of the Independent Public Anti-Doping Commission, a body set up at Putins suggestion and backed by the Russian Olympic Committee to lead the charge against what the Russian government perceives as unfair accusations. Putin didnt formally appoint Smirnov, but nominated him on state TV as a man with an absolutely unimpeachable reputation. He was swiftly approved.The commission, which last met in October, includes numerous sports officials but also doctors, a state TV executive and even a concert pianist, though none of the commissions members are anti-doping scientists.Our commission is absolutely independent. The commission contains people, many of whom have no connection to sport at all, but carry a lot of weight in society, Smirnov said, defending the participation of pianist Denis Matsuev. Hes not just there because he can play 47 piano concertos, but because he loves sport and was invited to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics because of his musical skill, Smirnov added, though the commission also works with two experts from Australia and Lithuania sent by WADA to Russia to help with reforms.Smirnov is eager to repair relations with the IOC and WADA after a year of fierce rhetoric on all sides, and refers to former WADA president Dick Pound, author of last years first report into Russian doping, as my old friend. In a recent conversation with Reedie, Smirnov offered to appoint a foreigner to Rodchenkovs old job as head of the Moscow lab to reactivate its colossal capacity of 20,000 tests a year.Smirnovs overall message is clear though -- Russia is not a country of drug cheats.In the spirit of our people there is nothing about trying to deceive, to find a dishonest shortcut, he said.
