AUGUSTA, Ga. – Jason Day received even more good news Monday: His mother, Dening, does not need to undergo chemotherapy after having surgery two weeks ago to remove a 3 1/2-centimeter cancerous mass from her left lung.

“It’s all good things,” he said Tuesday at the Masters. “I feel a lot lighter.”

Last month Day withdrew from the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play and revealed that his mom had been given 12 months to live by doctors in Australia. He flew her to his home in Ohio, where she will stay for the foreseeable future. She underwent a successful five-hour surgery on March 24.
