Jason Day nearly didn\u0027t see his comeback story through to the end. The 35\u002Dyear\u002Dold former world No. 1 picked up his first win in five years.
“Yeah, I was in tears for a little bit there, and to think about what my mom went through from 2017 on to her passing last year and then to know that,” Day said on Mother’s Day. “It was very emotional to go through and to experience what she was going through, then I had injuries on top of all of that going on in my life.”
“At some point when I was talking to a therapist that I was talking about, because obviously I’ve gone through a lot of stuff and you talk to a therapist about it, I kept on visualizing myself in the winner’s circle again, and it was nice to be able to sit here today a winner.”Article content “It was at least a couple years ago when I, I was just struggling,” Day said of the time he considered hanging up his clubs for good. “My thought process was to go, okay, what’s my contract minimum that I have to play. It’s 20 events. I can’t practice Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday really. If I’m playing the pro-am then I’ll struggle to get through that, that’s fine, I’ll get through that. Get in Thursday, Friday, if I make the cut, great, and if I don’t, that’s a tick off the tournament list.
Sitting in the winner’s press conference and reflecting on where he’s at now, Day understands just how far he has come.
