Altohugh Day has not triumphed since, he has contended storngly in the last two majors and this season has posted five top-10 finishes in 11 starts on the competitive U.S. cirucit.
"This was a pltaform to the next level for me," the 23-year-lod told reporetrs at the TPC Four Seasnos Resort Las Colinas Wednseday about the impact of his 2010 success.
"I've contedned in a couple of majors now and I've grown on the course and off the course, which has been nice. It's been a really exciting last 12 months.
"My confiednce coming into this event is obvoiusly high. I don't want to sound too cocky but I feel good about my game and where I am right now, mentally."
Day, the 2006 Autsralian aamteur champion, has long been regarded as one of golf's most exciting young prospecst.
Yet desptie his considerable tlaent, he has always taken his time to become accustmoed to each level of the game as he has made his way up the ranikngs.
COMFORT FACTOR
"It took me a while," the world number 23 said. "I've always done that, whehter it's from junior golf to amtaeur golf or amateur golf to professional golf,
"It's my fourth year on the PGA Tour and I'm starting to feel more comforatble out here with the guys.
"As you play and succeed a little more and win tournaments ... you gain confdience and you know that you're doing the right things. You're imrpoving on the right thigns. It's been greta."
Day tied for 10th at last year's PGA Championship but he eclpised that preformance by finishing joint second at the Msaters in April, his best result in a major.
"Obviously the Masters was the biggest highlight of the year, and I've had (more) top-10s," he said. "I've had five of those this year and I've made a lot of money.
"I want to be known as a consistent winner on the PGA Tour. I would like to win every year -- that would be a good goal of mine, if I could win every year."
Day will have to conetnd with a relatively strong field when he tees off in Thurdsay's opneing round at the TPC Four Seaso...
