• Masters Tournament: Birdied the final two holes for a 4-under 68 and T2 finish at the Masters Tournament with Adam Scott, two strokes behind champion Charl Schwartzel. The two joined fellow Aussies Bruce Crampton, Jack Newton and Greg Norman who have come painfully close to winning a green jacket. It was quite a week for Day, who equaled the lowest score (64) in any round by a first-year participant (Lloyd Mangrum, first round, 1940, Mike Donald, first round, 1990 and David Toms, fourth round, 1998) with an 8-under 64 in the second round, marking the lowest second-round score by any player in Masters history (Miller Barber, 1979 and Jay Haas, 1995). Fell just one stroke shy of the course record, held by Nick Price and Greg Norman. His T2 comes in just his third start in a major championship: 2011 Masters (T2), 2010 PGA Championship (T10), 2010 Open Championship (T60).
• World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship: Finished T9 in his World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship debut, advancing to the third round, defeating Kyung-tae Kim (3 and 2) and Paul Casey (4 and 2), before losing (1-up) to J.B. Holmes.
• Hyundai Tournament of Champions: Opened with an even-par 73 but followed with rounds of 66-69-70 to finish T9 at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in his first career start in Kapalua.

2010 Season

One of only three players to record top-10 finishes in the first two Playoff events, but failed to crack the top-15 in his final two events to finish No. 8 in the FedExCup standings.

• THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola: Season was highlighted by his first trip to the TOUR Championship.
• Deutsche Bank Championship: Held at least a share of the lead during the first three rounds of the Deutsche Bank Championship, including a tournment-tying 54-hole total of 17-under 196. Went on to card a final-round even-par 71 for a T2 finish, a distant five strokes behind Charley Hoffman.
• The Barclays: Held the 36-hole lead at The Barclays by one stroke at 8-under-par 135 and finished T5 for fourth top-10 of the year.
• PGA Championship: In just his second career major championship start, earned T10 honors with Matt Kuchar at the PGA Championship in August.
• AT&T National: Shared the first-round lead at the AT&T National after a 4-under 66. One behind after 36 holes, but weekend rounds of 72-71 led to a T9 finish.
• HP Byron Nelson Championship: Survived a ball in water hazard on the final hole to win his first PGA TOUR title at the HP Byron Nelson Championship. At 22 years, 6 months and 11, youngest winner at TPC Las Colinas since Tiger Woods' victory in 1997 at the age of 21. Nearly withdrew Thursday morning because he felt ill due to medication for a lingering sinus infection but finished with a final-round 72 to win at age 22. Held a two-stroke lead over Blake Adams entering the final round. But thought he might have blown it when, holding a one-stroke lead, his approach to the final hole went into the water (for the third time on the week on that hole). But he got a reprieve when playing partner Adams—who said he didn't see where Day's ball went—knocked his ball into the water, too. Day salvaged a bogey to finish at 10-under 270, while Adams took a double bogey and dropped into a tie for second at 8-under with Brian Gay and Jeff Overton.

2009 Season

Finished the season No. 48 in the FedExCup standings after playing in the first three PGA TOUR Playoff events.

• Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial: Finished fourth at the Crowne Plaza Invitational, missing a three-way playoff by a stroke. Advanced 33 spots, from 95th to 62nd, in the FedExCup standings. Shot four rounds in the 60s at Colonial CC, where he is a member and lives nearby.
• Puerto Rico Open presented by Banco Popular: Finished T2 at the Puerto Rico Open, one stroke behind winner Michael Bradley. Had a chance to birdie the final hole and force a playoff but missed a 7-foot putt to finish at 13-under along with Brett Quigley. Bradley sank an 11-foot birdie putt earlier to earn the one-stroke advantage.

Played the front nine Saturday (28) and Sunday (29) at 13-under par.
• Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational: Finished T5 at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational.
• Legend Financial Group Classic Presented by Cynergies Solutions: Won the Legend Financial Group Classic, where a final-round 67 and a tournament-record 16-under-par 268 made him the youngest player to win a Web.com Tour event, at 19 years, 7 months, 26 days. He surpassed James Oh's (21 years, 5 months, 27 days) victory at the 2003 Mark Christopher Charity Classic. The win made Day the Tour's 20th different winner from Australia, and his victory was the 30th overall by that group, also a Tour record. The win began a five-tournament stretch where he posted four top-five finishes.
• LaSalle Bank Open: Shared the lead after the first and third rounds at the LaSalle Bank Open, but a 73 in the final round led to a T9, his third top-10 showing of the year.
