" Day, the 38-year-old Aussie, has dealt with injuries but made sure he kept his dependence on pain medication at a minimum. "He's not immune to it just because he can hit a golf ball really well," Day said. "He's had 25- to 30-something surgeries, and when you're going through that many procedures, it's painful coming out of those procedures.

"I've had procedures done and I typically try and stay away from all that stuff because I just know that … painkillers, there can potentially be a downfall to it. " Jason Day on Tiger: 'Some people want him to fail' Day said it's been difficult to see Woods going through his struggles. "Some people want him to fail," he said.
