But we know he\u2019s a huge fan of the Queenslander. And that he\u2019s in pretty good shape, especially after attending the Bank of Utah Championship.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiangolfdigest.com.au\/jason-day-avoda-irons-13-clubs-utah-championship\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jason Day\u2019s latest club setup is an equipment anomaly<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The fan decided he\u2019d do a \u201cfitness challenge\u201d and honour his favourite player by doing 20 push-ups for every shot the 13-time PGA Tour winner hit at Black Desert Resort. Yep, every single shot.<\/p>\n<p>That wound up equating to 1,440 push-ups on Friday and another 1,360 push-ups on Saturday ahead of the final round. If he continued at this pace on Sunday, Day let him off easy by shooting 65, so that would have been \u2018only\u2019 1,300 push-ups for a total of 4,080 push-ups over three days.<\/p>\n<p>So he got a good workout in while watching Day (T-20) play some good golf. Even better? Day saw him doing push-ups outside the ropes (it would be hard not to notice that), talked to him after the third round and gave him his hat. Here\u2019s the guy\u2019s interview with the PGA Tour:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PGATOUR\/status\/1982518575366545725\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/PGATOUR\/status\/1982518575366545725<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wild stuff, but worth it. To him, at least.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe saw me the whole time, him and his caddie laughed multiple times,\u201d the unidentified man told the PGA Tour. \u201cAfter the round, he gave me his hat and I talked to him for, like, five minutes. He asked me why on Earth I would do this. He told me it was the craziest, coolest, weirdest thing a fan\u2019s ever done for him in his entire career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yeah\u2026 that would be tough to top\u2026 Anyway, good for that guy. Not everyone can pull off the visor look. And if there\u2019s a biggest Jason Day Fan Award for 2025, he just wrapped it up.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiangolfdigest.com.au\/michael-brennan-outperformed-every-pga-tour-pro-for-the-entire-year-in-this-stat-bank-of-utah-championship\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Brennan outperformed the entire PGA Tour in this stat for 2025 during his dominant win<\/a><\/p>\n<p>    <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[Photo: Patrick Smith] A Jason Day fan woke up on Monday morning with sore shoulders, but a big&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246034,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-246033","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246033\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
