As the third round of the Masters Tournament unfolded at Augusta National on April 11, 2026, Jason Day showcased his exceptional golfing skills. Just before the round began, anticipation built around Day, who has participated in 15 Masters tournaments throughout his career.
Day began his round with precision, ultimately finishing with a remarkable score of 4-under-par 68. This score marks his best performance in the third round at the Masters, matching his previous best.
During the round, Day made an impressive four consecutive birdies on holes 12 through 15, a feat that highlighted his ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. “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,” Day remarked after the round.
Entering the final round, Day finds himself three shots back from the lead, a position that keeps him in contention for the coveted green jacket. His performance has drawn attention not only for his skill but also for his equipment choices, including the Ping G430 LST driver with a 10.5° head and KBS TG Black 60g shaft.
Day’s fairway woods, which include a TaylorMade M6 3-wood, Aeroburner 3HL-wood, and Stealth 7-wood, have also contributed to his success this week. Additionally, he switched to Avoda golf irons in October 2025, enhancing his game with KBS TGI Tour 110 X shafts.
With a Bridgestone Tour B X golf ball in play and a TaylorMade Spider putter in hand, Day is equipped to tackle the challenges of Augusta National. His recent partnership with Malbon and equity ownership in PAYNTR Golf further emphasizes his commitment to the sport.
As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on Day to see if he can close the gap and secure a victory. “Statistically I average around four to five birdies a round, so I just knew they were going to come,” he stated, reflecting on his performance.
With the final round approaching, the stakes are high for Jason Day, who aims to add another significant achievement to his storied career. The excitement surrounding his performance at Augusta National continues to build as fans and analysts alike anticipate what he will deliver next.
