Jason Day had been hoping to make just a short hop from Scotland to Paris to start preparing for his Olympic bid - but Australia's No.1-ranked golfer decided family must come first.
So after finishing his impressive week at the British Open at Royal Troon where he finished joint-13th, Day decided instead to make the 14-hour flight back home to his Ohio home in the US to spend a bit of time with his wife and five kids.
Describing the trans-Atlantic break as "unfortunate" with the Olympic golf tournament just 10 days away, Day was still keen to express how much he was looking forward to finally making his long-awaited Games debut.
