Jason Day loves Augusta National, and if you didn’t pick him in your pool or your Fantasy Golf team, then well, you should have listened to me! I kid, I kid.
In difficult conditions with swirling winds and tucked pins, Day, who is trying to become the first Australian to win The Masters, fired an impressive four-under 68, six-under total, to take a one-shot lead over fellow Australian Marc Leishman and 53-year-old Fred Couples. Day’s only other start was in 2011 when he finished T2.
