Augusta (United States): World No. 3 Jason Day of Australia was so upset after his first two Masters rounds that wife Ellie was ready to slap him to snap him out of it.
Day (29) almost missed the cut with a second round 76 on Friday following his 74 in Thursday's first round. "She was kind of ready to slap me in the face because I was so negative with myself," he said.
"And she was trying to get me, pick me up and give me a good boost." The spousal therapy worked because he bounced back Saturday with a third-round 69, rising to a share of 23rd place after starting the day with a share of 45th place.
"And it's obviously good to have a good wife when you have something like that happen. But, yeah, she's like, you better get it out now before the kids get back."
Wife Ellie said the couple had words when four-year-old son Dash and baby daughter Lucy were out of their luxury mobile home, which serves as their Atlanta base during the tournament.
