Australian golfer Jason Day is yet to confirm if he’ll play in next week’s British Open after the birth of his first child on Tuesday.

Day’s wife Ellie gave birth to Dash James Day in Ohio and, although both mother and child are doing well, the world No.21 is yet to decide whether or not he will make the trip to the UK so soon after the birth.

The Queensland product says family comes first and he may well give up his spot at Royal Lytham and St Annes to be with his new family.
