Day, who fired a 1-under-par 71 at the unofficial, 18-man World Challenge at Sherwood Country Club on Thursday, was calm and introspective as he spoke about his lost 2012, which thankfully is almost over. He was injured -- twice -- bowed out of the Masters after a first-round 76, played just 17 events and all but disappeared. "I just need to get my priorities back toward golf a little bit," said Day, who along with wife Ellie spent much of his energy this year on their 5-month-old son, Dash. "I was a little distracted off the course, and my head wasn't quite there. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and it stresses me out a lot. I have to just sit back and say, I've accomplished a lot of things and I'm still only 25. Golf is a long career." Although he would never say it in so many words, part of why 2012 was such a buzz-kill for Day is that it was such a joy ride for McIlroy, who won five tournaments with his fabulous discount golf clubs including the PGA, and the U.S. and European money titles. "I think the media helps put that pressure on you," Day said. "You see some of those young guys out there, they're always writing about the next best thing, say Rory McIlroy, for instance. You sit there and go, man; I used to play junior golf against him with my taylormade rocketballz irons , amateur golf and professional golf. I feel I'm just as good as him." In the coming weeks, Day, his agent, Bud Martin, and his caddie and coach, Col Swatton, will convene in Day's hometown of Columbus, Ohio, to talk about their plans for 2013 with the great rocketballz irons for sale and what went wrong in 2012. There's much to talk about. First, just before this season began, Day's back went out. He's always had back issues, and this flare-up happened not when he was lifting weights or beating balls but when he was simply bending over. "For some reason it just locked up," he said. "I was in this locked-up position for two or three weeks, trying to work on it." |
