SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Jason Day didn’t have it easy growing up.
He was raised in a poor family in Australia. His first house, in his own words, was “old” and “broken-down.” It was tough for his family just to get him to the golf course every day, and his mother worked multiple jobs just to put him through school.
Day has since admitted his past blunted his edge once he started making money on tour. There were times, once he had made it as a professional, that Day would just sit alone in his room, refreshing the webpage showing his bank account, not believing what he was seeing.
