- A week after being slammed on social media for pulling out of a tournament with a back injury, Jason Day found himself in the spotlight under better circumstances on Saturday when he finished three strokes off the lead at the Players Championship.
A victory on Sunday would elevate Day into an elite group of multiple winners of the PGA Tour’s flagship event, joining Americans Jack Nicklaus, Hal Sutton, Fred Couples, Davis Love III and Tiger Woods and fellow Australian Steve Elkington.Day, the 2016 champion, stayed in the hunt with a tidy four-under-par 68 at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
Day was slammed last Thursday when he pulled out of the Arnold Palmer Invitational after seven holes, later disclosing that an MRI scan earlier in the week had revealed a tear in a disc in his back. There was further criticism when Day was subsequently photographed standing in line with his family at Disney World, even though bed rest is often the last thing back specialists recommend for their patients.
