Jason Day sweeps Match Play title to fuel momentum for Masters

AUSTIN, Texas – Jason Day continued his runup to the Masters with an impressive 5-and-4 defeat of Louis Oosthuizen in the final of the WGC-Dell Match Play at Austin Country Club on Sunday.

Day, 28, who won the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week in Orlando, Fla., came to Match Play with a reservoir of confidence. He used that momentum to his advantage in his seven matches, leading in 67 of the 101 holes that he played in the week and trailing in only 17.

“I'm very, very pleased to be the champion again,” Day said of his second Match Play title in three years.
