First it was Jason Day’s huge pants.
Then it was his incredibly ugly sweater at the Masters.
Day had an Augusta to remember, even though he entered Sunday’s final round tied for 43rd and had no chance of winning.
The Australian golfer made news early at Augusta with a pair of balloon pants that went viral on social media.
One commenter likened the Day pants to waterproof gear normally reserved for major storms.
The 13-time PGA Tour winner then outdid himself with a sweater that didn’t exactly match normal Masters attire.
“That was a horrible sweater,” one fan tweeted. “Honestly, everything he wears is absolutely horrible.”
Much like Rickie Fowler in 2011 when he broke a strict Masters dress rule and had to be told twice to correct his mistake, Day was corrected by the powers that be at Augusta National.
Day called her incredibly bold sweater — which featured black and red colors and huge letters — “the busy one.”
Some might have just called it ugly, but Day took the fashion high road.
“They asked me to take the vest off,” Day said.
“Respectfully, you’re doing this, because it’s all about the tournament here, and I understand that.
“I respect the tournament. That’s what we’re here to try to play and win the Green Jacket.”
Day again took the high road and remained focused on the future, refusing to ask what was bothering the Masters about his busy jumper.
“I don’t know. I didn’t ask,” he said. “They said to me, can you take it off? I said, ‘Yeah, no worries’.”
The banned sweater costs $248 and promotes Malbon Golf, which proclaims that it “inspires today’s youth to participate in the world’s greatest game.”
Golf fans ignored the obvious fashion bogey.
“Anyone who says it looks good should be forced to buy it,” one fan tweeted.
“They should pay me to wear it,” posted a second fan.
“Squeaky,” said a third fan.
After three rounds at the Masters, Scottie Scheffler leads the leaderboard, closely followed by Collin Morikawa and Max Homa.
After a fast start in the first round, Bryson DeChambeau enters Sunday in fifth place.
