PALM HARBOR, Fla. Jason Day is feeling good, but hes still listening to his body in the midst of a busy stretch and coming off an injury withdrawal.Day pulled out of the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks ago after completing just six holes, citing a back injury that he feared might keep him out of The Players Championship. But the Aussie received four cortisone shots and felt no ill effects last week en route to a T-8 finish at TPC Sawgrass that marked his third top-10 result of the year.Showing no signs of issue during Wednesdays pro-am at the Valspar Championship, Day explained that his back feels good and that he has required no further cortisone shots since the initial dose.

It seems like every time my back goes out I get the questions for about two or three weeks, and then they slowly go away, he said. Its coming along. Ive just got to not push myself too hard. But I feel good about it.With the Masters just three weeks away, Day doesnt have much time to rest and re-evaluate. This weeks start in Tampa is the second in a three-week stretch, as hell also head to Austin next week for the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, which he won back in 2016.Day said that he hasnt had to dial back his practice routine over the last two weeks, but the injury and recovery have meant taking stock of his fitness on a daily basis with the seasons first major around the corner.Its more so because Ive had back issues for a long time that I kind of monitor it as the day goes on. I know if Im pushing myself too hard or if Im not, Day said. Im trying not to push it, but I definitely still have to prepare and try to compete against the best players in the world, which is really difficult to do sometimes when you have a back issue. These guys are the best in the world for a reason, so Ive got to somehow do something to at least compete against them.
