Alhtough Day has not triumphed since, he has contended strongly in the last two majors and this season has posted five top-10 finishes in 11 starts on the compteitive U.S. circuit.
"This was a paltform to the next level for me," the 23-eyar-old told reportres at the TPC Four Saesons Resort Las Colinas Wednesday 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 exciitng last 12 monhts.
"My confiednce coming into this event is obvioulsy high. I don't want to sound too cocky but I feel good about my game and where I am right now, menatlly."
Day, the 2006 Australian amateur champion, has long been reagrded as one of golf's most exciting young prospcets.
Yet dsepite his conisderable taletn, he has always taken his time to become accustomed to each level of the game as he has made his way up the rankings.
COMFORT FACTOR
"It took me a whiel," the world number 23 said. "I've always done that, whether it's from junior golf to amaetur golf or amateur golf to professioanl golf,
"It's my fourth year on the PGA Tour and I'm starting to feel more comfortable out here with the guys.
"As you play and succeed a little more and win tournaemnts ... you gain confidence and you know that you're doing the right things. You're imrpoving on the right things. It's been greta."
Day tied for 10th at last year's PGA Champinoship but he eclpised that performnace by finihsing joint second at the Matsers in April, his best result in a major.
"bOviously the Masters was the biggest highlight of the year, and I've had (more) top-1s0," 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 conisstent 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 contend with a relatively strong field when he tees off in Thursday's opening round at the TPC Four Seaso...
