Early life and amateur career

Day was born in Mobile, Alabama, and raised in Poplarville, Mississippi, by his mother Jeanne Bass Day. His mother was widowed at the age of 28 when Glen was approximately 2 years of age. His grandfather Glyndol Bass, was young Glen's primary male role model. Bass, an avid golfer and member at Pearl River Valley Country Club just outside Poplarville, started Glen playing golf when he was 2 to 3 years of age. By the age of 10, he held a 5 handicap and was able to regularly shoot par on 18 holes.

In 1983, Day graduated from Poplarville High School. He then attended the University of Oklahoma.

Professional career

In 1988, Day turned professional. Day won the 1999 MCI Classic defeating Payne Stewart in a playoff. It was his 154th PGA Tour start and his only PGA Tour win. In 2000, the first of two top-10s came at the first event of the season with a T-8 in the Mercedes Championship. In 2001, he came in 4th in the MasterCard Colonial, and tied for 6th in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. In his forties, Day split his playing time between the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour.[3] He later joined the PGA Tour Champions after turning 50.

Day is notorious for being an extremely deliberate player on the golf course. In fact, the moniker "All Day," was hung on him by the legendary Jack Nicklaus. Day is one of the few golfers to receive a slow play penalty in a non-major (1995 Honda Classic).[1]

Day is also a golf course architect, forming Day-Blalock Golf Course Design with Alan Blalock in 1999.[3] He has featured in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings, peaking at 30th in 2000.
