QUOTE OF THE DAY - "I am trying to get my ribcage down by blowing into a balloon. It sounds insane. But I flew down to Florida last week and I met my trainer ... we're in a pilot's lounge and there are two pilots sitting next to me and I'm blowing these balloons up. As you set the balloons, it sounds like you've let one go. These guys were looking at me very strange." - Jason Day on the techniques he's employed to combat his chronic back injuries.
