Jason Day’s season cratered this time a year ago when he was on the sixth hole of Austin Country Club, playing in the opening round of the WGC-Dell Match Play championship.

Day double-bogeyed the hole and abruptly conceded the match to Pat Perez. No one knew that Day was just too emotional to carry on. The defending Match Play champion walked off the course and made a surprise announcement to members of the media.
