And it&#8217;s nothing to do with the clubs. It&#8217;s all kind of me in a sense that when you&#8217;re fighting something, it&#8217;s really hard to trust it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Luke, my caddie, is telling me, &#8216;put a good story on it,&#8217; which means that, like, you&#8217;re trying to tell yourself a good story to get yourself into the shot and visualize. And when you&#8217;re hitting it this way, it&#8217;s really hard to kind of see that story and tell yourself and really trust and believe in it.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Day carded a two-over during the first round of the signature event\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img w-full w-full h-auto\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/aol_the_mirror_191\/5a6475c5130749c8f7e85f65d86fc9ea.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Day carded a two-over during the first round of the signature event -Credit:Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I think at some point it will just &#8212; I&#8217;ll get beyond it. It&#8217;s really hard to be patient right now because I&#8217;ve had &#8212; every tournament I typically have three decent rounds and one bad round that just puts me out of the tournament. I&#8217;m in the 30 to 60 finish position-wise. It&#8217;s been a tough year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Day has just two top-10s this year and has not finished inside the top 15 since at T12 finish at the Masters.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a data-ylk=\"slk:FIFA World Cup nation files Donald Trump complaint on eve of tournament;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/entertainment\/fifa-world-cup-nation-files-171626632.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FIFA World Cup nation files Donald Trump complaint on eve of tournament<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a data-ylk=\"slk:Donald Trump threatens to never take down UFC White House cage in Eiffel Tower comparison;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/entertainment\/donald-trump-threatens-never-down-082754898.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Trump threatens to never take down UFC White House cage in Eiffel Tower comparison<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard,&#8221; said Day. &#8220;I was on 13 because I hit it in the back left part on 12 and got up-and-down. I had a nice up-and-down. But I said to Luke, I said, &#8216;this is just really hard to try and figure it out while you&#8217;re playing competitive golf,&#8217; because essentially what you want to do is you want to go out there and just be dialed and just hit the shots and not fight yourself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I&#8217;m not the only one that&#8217;s fighting it. There&#8217;s plenty of guys out here that are doing the exact same thing. Some are a little bit better at hiding it, some are a little bit better at getting around the golf course, and some guys are struggling.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jason Day detailed his recent struggles on the PGA Tour as the 13-time winner looks for his first&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":685307,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[12,427,17652,25860,3332,99],"class_list":["post-685306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-donald-trump","tag-golf","tag-jason-day","tag-jordan-spieth","tag-pga-tour","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=685306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
