Jason Day revealed he was asked by Augusta National officials to take off a fancy sweater before his second-round match at the Masters.
Day returned on Friday morning to complete the postponed first round. He was wearing a sleeveless top with the fictional words “Malburn Golf Championship” written on it. Day, a former Nike athlete, signed an apparel deal with Malbun earlier this year.
By the time Day reappeared for the second round, the resounding jump shot had disappeared. That sparked speculation about the possible implementation of Augusta National’s famously strict policies. The Australian has now confirmed he is enforcing an edict.
“They asked me to take it off,” Day said after the third round. “Honor, you’re doing this because it’s all about the championship here, and I understand that. I respect the game. That’s what we’re here to do, is to try and win the green jacket. They said, ‘Can you put Does it come off? ” I said, “Yes, don’t worry.” “
“It came from Augusta National Park. Not sure if it was a green jacket. I didn’t know who it was. They asked and I took it off respectfully.
Day insists he was not trying to make any point with the offensive clothing article. “I’m not trying to do anything,” the former world number one added. “them [Malbon] Just write me into the script and then I put it on. They send you a script and say, this is what we want you to wear on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and I say, okay. “
In one of the strangest media interviews of this major era, Day was also pressed about his baggy pants. These are similar to fishing waders. “Tiger wore looser clothes in the early 2000s,” Day said. “He’s doing great. I think it’s okay.
Augusta National has been contacted for comment.
