World number one Jason Day doesn't think he's favourite for Masters

Wednesday, April 06 2016 by SNTV
  • World number one and 2015 PGA Championship winner Jason Day, looks ahead to the 2016 Masters at Augusta on Tuesday (5th April).

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jason Day, world number one:

    "It's a good feeling to be here, number one in the world and coming off the back of how I've been playing has been fantastic. But to be honest, I don't think I'm the favorite this week. As you know, there's a lot of people out there that can play well this week and win, as well, because you know, Jordan (Spieth) and Rory (McIlroy) and Henrik (Stenson), how he's playing lately, and even Phil (Mickelson) is a favourite here. There's so many players that can win around here, and there's not just one heavy favourite this week, which is fantastic. I think it's good for the game of golf and I think it's good for this tournament, as well. I'm excited about the week. I'm excited about getting ready and preparing and getting the week underway."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jason Day, world number one:

    "The current form, I feel good about my game. I feel comfortable with where I'm at, walking around the grounds, number one in the world; it's a good feeling. But I know that I can't take it for granted, because obviously in this game, things can change pretty quickly. It's such a competitive sport now and so many guys can win, and it's so tough to win. But I do feel good with how I'm playing right now and where I'm at mentally and physically."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jason Day, world number one:

    (on playing in the Olympics)

    "As a kid growing up, this is a tournament I watched all the time and I wanted to win the Masters. I grew up watching the Olympics, but golf was never a sport that was.... other than back in, what, 1904 or whatever it was. But we never grew up watching golf in the Olympics, so it wasn't really on my radar ever as a junior, amateur or professional. But now it is. So the perspective of being an Olympic athlete has changed a lot, and having the opportunity to represent your country, my country of Australia, is huge and I'm looking forward to it and it would be a complete honour to go down there and represent Australia and try to win a gold medal for my country."
