Jason Day aggravates back injury picking up daughter

Jason Day was forced to withdraw from the Arnold Palmer Invitational last month because of a back injury, and it appears the ailment became an issue for him once again at the Masters on Thursday.

Day needed medical attention on the second hole of the first round at Augusta National, and ESPN reported that he was heard saying “oh, my back” after picking up his daughter before the round started.

This isn’t the first time we have seen Day hampered by an injury during a major championship, and it’s a shame to see another one so early in the Masters. Hopefully he’s able to work through it and keep playing.
