Former World No 1 recreates Oakmont's conditions at home as he seeks first major win in nearly a decade
It's been a while since Jason Day has been in the winner's circle of a major. His lone major victory is approaching its 10-year anniversary (Aug. 16, to be exact) when the Australian took home the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits during a run when Day was the most dominant golfer on the planet and ranked No. 1 in the world. But since then, it's been a roller coaster. He has battled numerous injuries and went winless over a five-year span. In early 2023, he was ranked 175th. Entering the U.S. Open, he ranks 39th. And while he hasn't won in nearly two years, he's been much more consistent. He just needs to shake off these injuries; he recently missed some time with a wrist issue. "[My golf game has] been good at times, I would say. But it's been choppy, because I'll be playing good and then obviously get an injury, and then I'll take a time off, and then I come back and I'll play good again, and then I get another injury. So it's just been … very, very difficult to get any sort of momentum," Day said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "So I've played solid golf and I've had some good finishes, but I just can't believe we're halfway through the season now, and I feel like the year's gone very, very fast, but obviously, when you're injured, you're sitting out a lot and just waiting around until … your body heals. So decent golf, could play a little bit better, obviously. Everyone can do that." This weekend's U.S. Open will be the first time he's out on the course since last month's PGA Championship as he nursed the aforementioned wrist injury. But he might be more prepared for the Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, than anyone else. Day, thanks to his partnership with TruGreen, was able to recently build his front lawn into Oakmont conditions: fast green, thick rough, all the fun stuff that any U.S. Open holds. "I do have a golf course in my front yard, and I know how important it is to have the correct people in place to be able to make that happen. I'm preparing for the U.S. Open coming up, and we're doing everything we can to mimic the conditions that we have at the U.S. Open," Day said. "TruGreen handles that, and it's nice to be able drive past and go, 'Man, that lawn looks really nice.' It's that time of year when things are heating up, and when we get to the meat of the summer, things will dry out, so you need a team behind you to keep things looking mint." "If you're on a simulator, and you're playing Oakmont, you can see what the course is going to give you. But here, I can grow the course, I can speed the greens, I can grow the rough, I can firm my course out," Day added. While Day may be out of that No. 1 contention, a victory on Sunday may just put him back on that path that he's been dying for. "Being No. 1 in the world, I knew how hard it was to get there, the work and effort and distractions that came with it. It's hard to sit there and say injuries have taken me out of some momentum," Day said. "But a career is very long. I'm trying to get these recent injuries behind me, and if I can have some healthy years and hit the ball hard, focus on what I need to do, hopefully I'll give myself a chance to challenge some of the best in the world."

This nine-time Ryder Cupper will return as a vice captain at Bethpage
This nine-time Ryder Cupper will return as a vice captain at Bethpage Nine-time U.S. Ryder Cupper Jim Furyk was named as one of Keegan Bradley's vice captains for the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in September. Furyk, who captained the victorious U.S. team at the Presidents Cup in Montreal in October, joins Webb Simpson, Brandt Snedeker and Kevin Kisner who were previously appointed by Bradley as vice captains. 'Having Jim as a member of our leadership team is a huge advantage for us moving forward,' said Bradley. 'I had the privilege of playing for him in last year's Presidents Cup, and his exceptional leadership, unwavering demeanor and wealth of experience made a huge impression on all of us. He knows what it takes to succeed in Ryder Cups, and I cannot wait to work alongside him as we prepare for Bethpage Black.' Furyk returns to the U.S. team room as a vice captain for the fourth time after previously serving during victories in 2016 at Hazeltine National Golf Club and in 2021 at Whistling Straits. Additionally, Furyk captained the U.S. Team at the 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National in Guyancourt, France. The 54-year-old represented the U.S. in nine consecutive Ryder Cups (1997, '99, 2002, '04, '06, '08, '10, '12, 14). His nine appearances as a player rank second all-time in U.S. Ryder Cup team history while his 34 career matches are tied for third. 'I am truly honored to be chosen as one of Keegan's Vice Captains for the 2025 Ryder Cup,' said Furyk. 'There is nothing in our game quite like the experience of representing the U.S. in the Ryder Cup. I'm excited to work closely with Keegan, who brings incredible passion and leadership, as well as Webb, Brandt and Kevin to help our team re-claim the Cup this September.' Furyk brings an added bonus that if Bradley were to qualify for his own team, he has previous experience calling the shots and could step in as a leader while Bradley competes. Late last year, Furyk gave this response when asked if he would like to be part of Bradley's Ryder Cup staff: 'I'll do whatever Keegan wants. It's his team. He's got to make the decisions for who best follows him and either way, I've let him know that, you know, in one sense, I really wish he was an assistant this year, because he would have got a really good look behind the scenes of what we're doing. But I'm also happy for him as a player and glad that we got to pick him, and he had a heck of a week as well. I let him know that we need to spend some time together, and I could kind of lead him through the months leading up, the weeks leading up, the days leading up, kind of why some decisions are made. I think it's a big deal that Sneds was in the room as well. And I think he can be a big help as well.'
