Jason Day on Why His Kids are Big: "Like Ellie, I think she has protein shakes in those things."

Jason Day is ready for a shot at a U.S. Open title. He’s had a spectacular season that included back-to-back wins and two wire-to-wire wins. He is the number one ranked golfer in the world and that’s because he is, as it stands right now, the best.

Day’s son Dash though, has become a bit of a star himself. From running up to his dad after wins to clips of him hitting golf balls at the range and yelling “Happy Gilmore” quotes to his newest bit of stardom, a commercial. Day was asked about his son and how that commercial went down. His answered the question and then went on and on and eventually ended up mentioning that his wife Ellie may be feeding their new daughter Lucy protein shakes from “those things.”

Via ASAP:

"Q. Jason, Dash is having his star turn on TV. Can you explain the genesis of that commercial? How did he learn his lines, deliver them? What was it like for you the first time you saw that? JASON DAY: So he went down to, in Columbus, they went down to a studio. He had headphones on and Ellie was helping him out with his lines. I mean, the lines, he’s only 3, so — and people forget he’s 3. He’s a humongous toddler. He’s very big. And you should see Lucy, she’s even bigger. She’s a fatty. It’s fine. Like Ellie, I think she has protein shakes in those things. I don’t know what she’s doing. But for some reason, she’s a very, very big baby. I don’t know how other people have real tiny babies. But anyways, I’m off point now. I can’t remember what I was going to say. (Laughter.)"

So there’s that.
