Jason Day

“For some reason, every time I get a little bit under the weather, I've got zero patience.”

“I don't feel as though I am under any pressure to return to Australia, given I won the PGA Championship, and I am just hoping everyone back home will understand my situation. I just want to make sure I am there for Ellie and that she has my support when she has our second child.”

“I've got to come into the day enjoying myself and go from there.”

“As I get older, my body isn't bulletproof, and it's starting to break down. And I'm still young, so it's something that I have to maintain, something that I have to work extra, extra hard, just as hard as my golf game, I have to work on my body as well.”

“I had a very boring life, which is fine. I like being boring.”

“When I've been playing my best golf, I feel like everything's so slow.”

“When I lost my dad, there was no one there to be the disciplinarian, and we kind of ran amok.”

“'Golf Digest' had all the old school swings, and my favorite swing, ever, was Nick Faldo's swing. And it had all the greats, Ernie Els and Nick Faldo and all that stuff, and I had the pictures of their swing sequences on my wall.”

“I need to improve my shorter stuff with my irons, from 100 to 175 yards. If I can hit a few more greens with those clubs and tighten up the proximity to the hole, that would help a lot.”

“I'm willing to put my body on the line and stuff like that, just to get a taste of that greatness.”

“I want to win as many tournaments as I can.”

“I don't feel that old, but when I talk to these kids, I do feel old. Because I'm talking about taxes and all this other stuff that is very, very boring. And these guys are talking about music, and I'm like, 'Oh, I remember those days.'”

“It's emotional highs and lows in the game of golf.”

“I look at that 10 PGA Tour wins, and I say to myself, 'That's not enough,' and it isn't enough for me. It's just 10. I want more than 10.”

“Just looking when I was little at pictures of cars and houses that I wanted - it gives you a certain motivation, it gives you a goal.”

“It's okay to say what you want to do.”

“I look back on the influence my dad had on my life and career, and I just try to take the best parts of what he had.”

“I think everyone expects if you're in the lead, or if you're a favourite to win, you will win, and if you don't, then you're in a slump. It's not the case.”

“It really is amazing that some days you'll come out and you'll feel like you can beat anyone, and then some days you come out and you've got no confidence in the world, and you can't break an egg with a hammer.”

“To be able to know that I can push myself a little further than you think you can was so important. And that it's a mental barrier more than anything. You can break through it.”
