Day's back fine, but 'trying not to push it' as Masters nears

PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Jason Day is feeling good, but he’s still listening to his body in the midst of a busy stretch and coming off an injury withdrawal.

Day pulled out of the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks ago after completing just six holes, citing a back injury that he feared might keep him out of The Players Championship. But the Aussie received four cortisone shots and felt no ill effects last week en route to a T-8 finish at TPC Sawgrass that marked his third top-10 result of the year.

Showing no signs of issue during Wednesday’s pro-am at the Valspar Championship, Day explained that his back feels “good” and that he has required no further cortisone shots since the initial dose.
