AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The
fortunes of Jason Day
turned as quickly as the
biggest match he faced
in winning the Dell Match
Play.
Just two weeks ago, he ar-
rived at the Arnold Palmer
Invitational without hav-
ing won in six months and
showing few signs that he
was ready to crank up that
fearsome combination of
long ball and short game.
Day now heads to the Mas-
ters as the man to beat.
Coming off a one-shot vic-
tory at Bay Hill, the 28-year-
old Australian overcame
a back injury that nearly
caused him to withdraw,
went far enough in the
Match Play to return to No.
1 in the world, outlasted
Rory McIlroy in the semifi-
nals and then capped off
a remarkable week in Tex-
as by going home with the
trophy.
