Jason Day defeats Louis Oosthuizen to win WGC-Dell Match Play

Jason Day defeated Louis Oosthuizen 5 and 4 Sunday to win the World Golf Championships-Dell Match Play after going toe-to-toe with Rory McIlroy in the semifinals.

Day's victory notwithstanding, it already was an eventful week for the talented Aussie, who has reclaimed the No. 1 ranking in the world. Day started the tournament with a convincing win over Graeme McDowell on Wednesday, but appeared to seriously injure his back. He even hobbled off the 18th green and declined to speak with reporters.
