Jason Day was on par after playing 13 holes on the opening day of the Masters 2024. However, he was still the highlight of the day, thanks to his parachute pants.
On Thursday, April 11, Day entered the Augusta National sporting a Masters-inspired shirt and weirdly-looking blue parachute pants. Since the first day here was severely heavy thunderstorms, his pants also were flapping in the wind throughout the day.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) took the opportunity to use their wit as they roasted the golfer's fashion choice. Here's a look at some reactions:
"Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me."
"This was a normal style of pants for golfers like 10-15 years ago? Crazy," another fan tweeted.
"Let’s see what he brings to the table tomorrow, as it’s supposed to be even more windy."
"Think those were meant for J Daly, not J Day! 💨," a fan wrote.
Here's a look at some more responses:
