Okay, so I wanted to really dig into Jason Day’s major performance, specifically that PGA Championship win in 2015. I’d heard about it, seen some highlights, but I wanted the full picture of how he got there.
First, I started searching for some general info on his wins. I wanted to see what his track record looked like. I found out pretty quick that he’s got a good number of PGA Tour wins – 13, which is no small potatoes. I saw the big ones listed: the 2015 PGA Championship, of course, plus a couple of World Golf Championships, and The Players Championship in 2016. Those WGC wins were the 2014 Accenture Match Play and the 2016 Dell Match Play, just to be specific.
So, armed with that, I wanted to drill down on that 2015 PGA Championship. I wanted to see what people were saying about it at the time. I started hunting for articles, videos, anything I could find that was published around August 2015. I mostly used google and youtube.
It was cool seeing all the excitement around his win. It really seemed like a breakthrough moment for him. There were all these articles about how he’d been knocking on the door of a major for a while, and he finally kicked it down.
I spent a good chunk of time just reading through different reports and watching videos of his rounds. I wanted to get a feel for the course, the conditions, and how he was playing each * was like watching a movie, seeing how he built up his lead and held on.
What I really took away from this little deep dive? Well, it confirmed what I already kind of knew – Jason Day is a serious talent. And that 2015 PGA Championship wasn’t just a lucky win, it was the result of him putting it all together at the right time. It definitely makes me appreciate his career more.
