KAPALUA, Hawaii -- Jason Day would love nothing more than a long year, and that might start with a shorter swing.
Day is coming off a longest break of his career, and while he arrived on Maui for the SBS Tournament of Champions as the No. 1 player in the world, he didn't bring much momentum with him. He last played on Sept. 23 at the Tour Championship, withdrawing from the second round with a back injury. Two weeks earlier, he withdrew from the final round of the BMW Championship with back pain.
"I picked up a club twice in those three months and I worked hard on my rehab, especially the back," Day said Tuesday at Kapalua.
