Former World No. 1 transforms yard into Oakmont conditions for US Open prep
It has been almost a decade since Jason Day last hoisted a major championship trophy. The Australian golfer’s lone major victory came at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, where he was at the peak of his game and ranked number one in the world. However, since that triumph, Day has faced a series of setbacks, including injuries that have hindered his performance on the course.
Over the past five years, Day went winless and saw his world ranking plummet to 175th. Despite the challenges, he has shown resilience and determination to overcome his injuries and return to form. As he gears up for the U.S. Open, Day is currently ranked 39th and is focused on regaining his competitive edge.
In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Day reflected on his journey back to the top of the leaderboard. He acknowledged the difficulties of staying consistent while battling injuries but remained optimistic about his chances of success. The upcoming U.S. Open will be a test of his resilience and determination to compete at the highest level.
To prepare for the challenging conditions of the U.S. Open, Day partnered with TruGreen to transform his front lawn into a miniature version of Oakmont Country Club. By simulating the fast greens and thick rough of a major championship course, Day has been able to fine-tune his game and sharpen his skills ahead of the tournament.
As Day takes to the course at Oakmont Country Club, he knows that a victory at the U.S. Open would be a significant milestone in his career. With a renewed focus and determination, Day is ready to put his injuries behind him and challenge the best golfers in the world for the top spot.
While the road to redemption may be long and challenging, Day remains confident in his abilities and is determined to make a comeback. As he sets his sights on reclaiming his former glory, Day is poised to once again compete at the highest level and showcase his talent on the biggest stages in golf.
