Jason Day makes confession after emotional win: "I never told my wife that"
Jason Day made the revelation after winning his 13th PGA Tour title.
A teary-eyed Jason Day admitted he was close to quitting the PGA Tour over the last couple of years as he dealt with a number of personal and physical battles.
Day, 35, returned to the winner's circle for the first time in five years by clinching the AT&T Byron Nelson by one stroke at TPC Craig Ranch.
The Australian, who spent more than 50 weeks as the world's best golfer across two spells in 2015 and 2017, has had to re-invent his swing after a longstanding back injury hindered his career.

Couple that with dealing with vertigo and the passing of his mother Denning last March and it's not hard to see why Day has previously described the last few years as 'a big ball of stress'.
One person who knows how much Day has suffered is his wife Ellie.
Heavily-pregnant Ellie was by the green as Day clinched his 13th PGA Tour title.
Day revealed:
Day also said he's been battling an infection with his sinuses which has led to extreme fatigue at times.
It has resulted in the golfer, at times, not being able to practice on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Still, he now feels as though he is on the other side.
