DUBLIN, Ohio — For the first time since his chronic back injuries began in 2015, Jason Day feels healthy.
“I feel like I don’t have an injury or like I’ve never had an injury, which is great,” Day said after his third-round 4-under 68 on Saturday at the Memorial. “It gives me the confidence knowing that my body and what I’m doing in the gym and what I’m doing with my swing is really paying off.”
It has been a long road back from a decline for the world’s former No. 1 player, an Australian who lives in Westerville, a suburb of Columbus. A year ago, Day withdrew from the Memorial because of a flare-up with his back.
