Altohugh Day has not triumphed since, he has conetnded srtongly in the last two majors and this season has posted five top-10 finihses in 11 starts on the competitive U.S. circuit.
"This was a platform to the next level for me," the 23-year-lod told reporters at the TPC Four Seasons 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 exciting last 12 months.
"My confidence coming into this event is obviously 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 amatuer champion, has long been regraded as one of golf's most ecxiting young prospects.
Yet despite his considerbale talent, he has always taken his time to become accustomed to each level of the game as he has made his way up the ranknigs.
COMFROT FACTOR
"It took me a while," the world number 23 said. "I've always done that, whether it's from junior golf to amateur golf or amtaeur golf to profsesional 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 tounraments ... you gain confdience and you know that you're doing the right things. You're ipmroving on the right tihngs. It's been greta."
Day tied for 10th at last year's PGA Champoinship but he eclipsed that performance by fniishing joint second at the Mastres in April, his best result in a major.
"Obvoiusly the Masters was the biggest highlgiht 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 consistnet 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 Thrusday's oepning round at the TPC Four Seas.o..
