Jason Day a PGA Tour champion again after being 'close to calling it quits'

It was worth the wait for Jason Day.

Five years and six days ago, the Aussie, at 30 years old, already had the career most can only dream about. He was a major champion, a former world No. 1 and had just claimed his 12th PGA Tour win at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Day, however, would endure a slew of obstacles throughout the next few years — and his fortitude was tested.

But now, 1,835 days since his last triumph, he can again call himself a champion, winning the AT&T Byron Nelson with a final-round 62.
