Sept 2 (Reuters) - World number one Jason Day was relieved to hear that his wife Ellie and two children were "resting comfortably" after being involved in a traffic accident on Friday while he was competing at the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Australian Day was informed about the incident after he had carded a one-under-par 70 in the opening round at the TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts.

According to a statement issued by Day's management firm, his wife was taken to hospital after the accident as a precautionary measure before being treated and then released.

"Thankfully everyone is now resting comfortably," Day said in a statement.
