Jason Day withdraws from the Masters

Jason Day, who tied for second at the Masters and U.S. Open last year, withdrew during the second round Friday with an injured left ankle.

The Australian was at 5 over for the tournament when he left Friday, after playing seven holes, and was 1 over for the day.

Day and Adam Scott finished two strokes behind Charl Schwartzel at Augusta National last year.

It was the best finish by a first-time player at the Masters since Dan Pohl in 1982.
