When golfer Jason Day didn't want to play

Major-winner Jason Day said yesterday he was targeting getting back to World No. 1 after his mother Dening's cancer scare had left him not wanting "to be on the golf course". "My mum getting lung cancer was very difficult," the Australian told reporters ahead of the US PGA Tour's CJ Cup, which begins in South Korea today.



"I don't have any grandparents. I don't have my dad. I don't have anyone. If I lost my mum all I would have would be my two sisters," said the World No. 9 on Jeju Island.


"So realising how much she sacrificed for me growing up it meant a lot to me to be there for her. And I didn't want to be on the golf course," he said.
