PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – It’s been a quick turnaround for Jason Day.
It was barely a week ago that the Aussie hobbled off the course at Bay Hill, withdrawing from the Arnold Palmer Invitational after completing just six holes. He subsequently shared that an MRI revealed an annular tear to the disc between the L4 and L5 vertebrae in his lower back, and his prognosis for this week’s Players Championship was very much in doubt.
But after a second-round 66, Day heads into the weekend at 8 under, very much in the mix for a title he captured three years ago.
