As the sun rose over Augusta National on April 11, 2026, anticipation filled the air for the third round of the Masters Tournament. Jason Day, a seasoned competitor with a history of participation in 15 Masters tournaments, was ready to make his mark once again.
Day began the day with a focus that has characterized his career. He utilized a Ping G430 LST driver with a 10.5° head and a KBS TG Black 60g TXX shaft, a combination that has served him well. His fairway woods included a TaylorMade M6 3-wood, an Aeroburner 3HL-wood, and a Stealth 7-wood, showcasing his commitment to precision and performance.
Throughout the round, Day demonstrated his skill, making four consecutive birdies from holes 12 to 15. “It was nice to be able to have the chances from 12 to 15; hit a lot of good quality shots going into the greens,” he remarked after the round.
By the end of the third round, Day had shot a remarkable 4-under-par 68, placing him three shots back from the lead. This score matched his best performance in the third round of the Masters, highlighting his consistency and determination.
Day’s equipment choices have evolved over time; he switched to Avoda golf irons in October 2025, featuring KBS TGI Tour 110 X shafts. He also uses Avoda wedges in 50°, 55°, and 60° configurations, further enhancing his short game.
In addition to his clubs, Day plays with a Bridgestone Tour B X golf ball and employs a TaylorMade Spider putter, which reflects his strategic approach to the game.
Looking ahead, Day’s performance at Augusta National is crucial not just for his standings but also for his confidence as he continues to compete at the highest level. “Statistically I average around four to five birdies a round, so I just knew they were going to come,” he noted, emphasizing his positive mindset.
As the final round approaches, the golf community watches closely, eager to see if Day can close the gap and contend for the coveted green jacket. His journey at this year’s Masters is a testament to resilience and skill, qualities that resonate deeply with fans and aspiring golfers alike.
