Two years ago, Jason Day led the Masters with three holes to play on the final day when he made back-to-back bogeys to finish third.

“I remember him coming off the course saying he kind of choked,” recalls wife Ellie. “That killed me because he was so disappointed in himself.”

On the course, it was the toughest loss of Day’s career.

“It took me a little bit to get over,” he said. “But it was more frustrating because I know that just from what — if I had my head on now, back then, in 2013, I honestly believe I could have finished it off.”

Sunday, he finally did.

Day shot 5-under 67 for a three-stroke victory over Jordan Spieth to win the PGA Championship and earn his first career major title. His four-day total of 20-under 268 at Whistling Straits surpassed the previous 72-hole low in a major of 19-under-par, set by Tiger Woods at the 2000 Open Championship.
