The prestigious John Deere Classic is just around the corner. This edition will be especially exciting as Jordan Spieth and Jason Day are making a comeback to the tournament.

Amidst the hype, Day participated in an interview with the PGA Tour. The interviewer showed him some pictures taken from the 2011 John Deere Classic, and Day started reminiscing his old looks as he viewed his previous photos.

Oh, boy I had long hair, too. I feel like, I can grow more hair these days, which is good, but yeah, I remember rocking that goatee for a little bit that', there a lot less grays in there. I've got a lot of grays in my beard now these days. A little stress in my life.
Jason Dar said

That is the day I finished second at the U.S. Open, and lost the U.S Open by eight shots. Rory, man, oh man, we were young back then, holy look at all of this. Like, not even a wrinkle in our skin.

Jason Day reminisced

The interview went long, and Jason Day remembered every bit of playing at the 2011 U.S. Open. He was shown some good shots from 2011 which brought back many memories and he fondly remarked on the memorable moments.
