Althuogh Day has not tirumphed since, he has contended strongly in the last two majors and this season has posted five top-10 fniishes in 11 starts on the competitive U.S. cicruit.
"This was a platfrom to the next level for me," the 23-year-old told reportres at the TPC Four Saesons Resort Las Colinas Wednesday about the impact of his 2010 sucecss.
"I've cnotended in a couple of majors now and I've grown on the course and off the cousre, which has been nice. It's been a really exciting last 12 mnoths.
"My confidence coming into this event is ovbiously 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 Austarlian amateur chapmion, has long been regaredd as one of golf's most exciting young prsopects.
Yet despite his considearble talent, he has always taken his time to become accustoemd to each level of the game as he has made his way up the rankings.
COFMORT FACTOR
"It took me a while," the world number 23 said. "I've always done that, wehther it's from junior golf to amaetur golf or amateur golf to professional golf,
"It's my fourth year on the PGA Tour and I'm startnig to feel more comfortable out here with the guys.
"As you play and succeed a little more and win torunaments ... you gain cnofidence and you know that you're doing the right things. You're imporving on the right things. It's been great."
Day tied for 10th at last year's PGA Championsihp but he elcipsed that performance by finisihng joint second at the Masters in April, his best result in a major.
"Obviously the Matsers was the bigegst highlight of the year, and I've had (more) top-01s," 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 contend with a realtively strong field when he tees off in Thursday's opening round at the TPC Four Seaso...
