It’s been a while since Jason Day was in the circle of the winner of a major.
His only big victory approaches his 10th anniversary (August 16, to be exact) when the Australian won the PGA championship at Whistling Straits during a race where Day was the most dominant golfer on the planet and ranked n ° 1 in the world.
But since then it was a roller coaster.
He fought against many injuries and went without victory over a period of five years. At the beginning of 2023, it was ranked 175th.

Upon entering the United States Open, it ranks 39th. And although he has not won for almost two years, he was much more coherent. He just needs to shake these wounds; He recently missed a little time with a wrist problem.
“”[My golf game has] I was sometimes good, I would say. But it was jerky, because I will play well and I will obviously make an injury, then I will take a leave, then I will come back and I will play well again, then I hurt another injury. So it’s just … very, very difficult to get a kind of momentum, “said Day in a recent interview with PK Press Club Digital.
“So I played solid golf and I had good finishes, but I cannot believe that we are halfway in the season now, and I have the impression that the year went very, very quickly, but obviously, when you are injured, you sit a lot and wait just until … Your body heals. So, the decent golf, could play a little better.
The US Open of this weekend will be the first time he will be on the course since the PGA championship last month as he was breastfeeding the aforementioned wrist injury. But it could be more prepared for the Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, than anyone.
Day, thanks to his partnership with Trugreen, managed to build his lawn before in Oakmont conditions: fast green, rough thick, all the funny things that we open.
A victory at the US Open would be the first major victory of the day in almost 10 years. (Trugreen)

“I have a golf course in my courtyard before, and I know how important it is to have the right people in place to be able to get there. I am preparing for the United States to come, and we do everything we can to imitate the conditions we have in the United States,” said Day. “Trugreen manages this, and it’s good to be able to pass and go:” Dude, this lawn looks really nice. “It is this time of year when things warm up, and when we get to summer meat, things dry out, so you need a team behind you to keep things in mint.”
“If you are on a simulator and you play Oakmont, you can see what the course will give you. But here I can develop the course, I can accelerate the Greens, I can cultivate raw, I can firm my course,” added Day.
Although the day may be out of this statement No. 1, a victory on Sunday can simply put it back on this path for which it would die.
“Being n ° 1 in the world, I knew how difficult it was to get there, the work and the efforts and the distractions that came from it. It is difficult to sit there and to say that the injuries brought me out of the momentum,” said Day. “But a career is very long. I try to undergo these recent injuries behind me, and if I can have healthy years and hit the ball hard, focus on what I have to do, I hope I will give myself a chance to challenge some of the best in the world.”
