Jason Day shares the blunt truth about the master competitor

Entering the weekend, the 2025 Masters rankings are full of superstars. Jason Day is one of them, and he is not intimidated by the firepower represented by his master contenders.

Day will start the third round after leading Justin Rose fell behind two-quarters and four shots. The names of Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler sit between him and the lead.

But, although he never won the Masters, he has experience in Augusta National than almost anyone else. On Friday, he shared a blunt message for anyone who thinks the game is over.

Jason Day’s Master Message

After his second round of 70 points, Day talked to Augusta’s reporters. Asked what training he received from his 14 years gave him hope for the weekend, he determined the fact that it usually determines the way this game is: in the final round, the last nine games.

“Just let yourself compete on the back [on Sunday]. Anything happens on the back. ”

Then one step a day, saying history shows that some specific players tend to collapse in the last nine games.

“Obviously, there are some people or individuals who struggle on the back and some people who are doing well on the back and win the win,” Day began.

But no matter who they are, he has no naming contenders, who claims he doesn’t want to get worse among those players who have been badly recalled by past masters Sunday.

“I don’t know the name because obviously it might bring people’s memories.”

But, blunt truth day shared, and the records show that it is true, which makes him hope he will be the second Australian to win the Masters this week. As long as he can reach amazing distance on Sunday night.

“Tomorrow is going to be through. I know it will be tough, but get the chance, try to take advantage of them and get into trouble in nine games Sunday,” Day said of his plan.

The recent master collapsed on Sunday

Players who collapsed on Sunday under pressure from the Masters have been a feature of the game since the start of the game in 1934. Some of the contenders in this year’s Masters have their own misfortune history.

Although he won the Masters in his second attempt in 2015, Jordan Spieth was one of the players. Next year, Spieth heads to the second-ninth lead on Sunday. His second straight was almost guaranteed.

But then Spieth flushed two shots on the 12th hole of the par 3, and within an hour he lost the lead and would never get it back. That was the worst, but not the only example of Spieth’s struggle in the last nine games.

But Spieth entered the third round, so there were 10 defenders, so there were no need to worry about him for a day. Rory McIlroy, on the other hand, asked a bigger question.

But McIlroy’s unfortunate history at Sunday Masters is well known. Despite several approaches to the phone, it was the only big major he hadn’t won. The closest was in 2011, when McIlroy led the four-shot lead on Sunday’s back nine. The wheels then fell completely in a 10-minute triple bogey and fourteen years later, Rory’s locker was still missing a green coat.

McIlroy also experienced a small melt this year. His lead was a quarter when he shot two late double bogeys on Thursday.

Jason Day’s Master History

Day finished T2 in the 2011 Masters, well above McIlroy’s final end, which was his master’s debut.

He added third place in 2013 and the 2016 T10 after winning the 2015 PGA championship.

While he also recorded the T5 in 2019, Tiger Woods won his fifth Masters title and has not been that good lately.

Day has been hurt for years and his Masters ended that. He missed the cuts in 2020 and 2021 and did not compete in 2022.

But over the past few years, Day has experienced a career renaissance. He won his 13th PGA Tour victory in 2023 at AT&T Byron Nelson. This ended the five-year victory drought. He finished T2 in the Open Championship that year, and his master performance also improved, the 2023 T39 and the 2024 T30.

He is further achieving another high result this year. But can he win the second major in the first decade? We have to wait until Sunday’s nine defenders to find out.
