H\ufeffe was in contention in the final rounds, but Jason Day<\/a> had a US Masters tournament<\/a> to forget after a horror stretch on the final day.<\/p>\n

In the second round, Day was still a chance at securing Australia's second green jacket\ufeff but had a horrible ending to the event, putting a ball into the water and taking three putts from three feet on another hole.<\/p>\n

The 12th hole was arguably Day's worst, where he stood at the edge of the bunker, and watched his ball roll into the water after a heavy putt.<\/p>\n

Before that, a four-putt double bogey occurred on the ninth\ufeff with the Australian carding an eight-over 80 in his fourth round on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Day was reportedly suffering from health issues and evidently struggled to gain any rhythm throughout his final charge.<\/p>\n

The \ufeffformer world number one surged close to the top of the leaderboard on Saturday morning and looked like he could be a challenger for the title.<\/p>\n

Day did not speak to reporters at the end of his tournament, but did provide a reason behind Tiger Woods' departure in the middle of the third round when speaking in between the third and fourth rounds.<\/p>\n

Woods' withdrawal was the second time he'd pulled out of a major championship since the start of 2022\ufeff, with the first coming in the third round of the PGA Championship in May.<\/p>\n

Day revealed to media that Woods told him the real reason for that first withdrawal.<\/p>\n

\"Tiger<\/p>\n

"I was talking to him at the end of last year, and then he was saying the reason why he pulled out of the PGA [Championship] was a screw went through the skin on Saturday or whatever it was," Day said.<\/p>\n

"He looked like he was labouring pretty hard yesterday.<\/p>\n

"It was obviously difficult to watch because he had to come back out and then play through all that yesterday morning, and then he had to take a little bit of a break and come back out and play again. <\/p>\n

"It wasn't the perfect conditions for him to be able to at least get through the round. It's disappointing, but that's just kind of, I think, where we're at with how his body is right now."<\/p>\n
