Jason Day said he deserves to be out of contention after struggling on the back-nine all week at the 2016 Open Championship

SOUNDBITE (English) Jason Day, one-over: (On his struggles with the back-nine)

"The 10th hole with the bogey kind of stopped my momentum. It's obviously very hard to get momentum back up when you're playing that back side. Haven't had a birdie on the back side this week. Played it, I don't know how many over I've played; it's been terrible. That's why I'm not in the tournament right now. So if I would have played the back side a little bit better this week, I think I would be right around the lead."

SOUNDBITE (English) Jason Day, one-over: (On his round today putting him out of contention)

"Unfortunately four bogies on the back side, I mean, you're playing golf like that, you don't deserve to win. Looking forward to tomorrow's round to try and improve on the back side and just get a little bit of a better taste going back home."
