Jason Day has finished second in The Masters and the U.S. Open this year, but you would not know it by the press coverage garnered by the hottest golfer from Down Under. The Australian has played his best golf by Callaway FT-i Squareway Wood in the shadow of Y.E. Yang and Rory McIlroy's meltdown at The Masters, and he put together the second best effort against a near-perfect McIlroy at the U.S. Open.
Day has everything he needs in his toolbox to win several majors in the next few years. Day can crush the ball off the tee, he ranks in the top-20 for distance but his short game is where he separates himself from the field. Day ranks No. 1 in sand save percentage among all active golfers and he also ranks No. 21 in strokes gained putting on the green.
The upcoming British Open is on a course that will play Callaway FT-i Squareway Wood into the hands of Day. Royal St. George's is a course that will bring out the best aspects of Day's game. His outstanding irons game and prowess out of the sand in the massive bunkers of Royal St. George's will tell us where Day stands among his peers. Day's strong striking skills off the tee will also be an added advantage when the greatest golfers in the world head to England from July 10-17.
The Las Vegas Hilton Superbook is not a believer in Jason Day; they have him as a 30-1 long shot to win the British Open by playing Callaway FT-i Squareway Wood next month. Day is beginning to make headway where it counts, with the advertisers looking for a young up and coming golfer to represent them. Day signed a deal to represent Lexus and played his first tournament with Lexus as a sponsor using Callaway FT-i Squareway Wood at the U.S. Open.
Day is on the verge of something special if he can produce a top-five in the British Open and be the rival to Rory McIlroy that everyone wants to see. Day finished higher than McIlroy at The Masters and is the steadiest golfer with a tournament on the line. The one question that was not answered with McIlroy in the U.S. Open was his response to a high-pressure situation.
The winner in a rivalry between Day and McIlroy will be Day hands down. Day mentioned in the same breath with the charismatic McIlroy is already a win and if they battle head-to-head in the British Open, these two compare to Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Rivalries are always great for golf and this rivalry could be the start of great things to come.
