The opening round of the Masters produced a number of stories on Thursday, but it was an item of clothing which seemed to have social media talking the most, with Jason Day's pants causing X/Twitter to have a field day!

Paired alongside 15-time Major winner Tiger Woods and PGA Tour star, Max Homa, the trio were always going to receive a lot of coverage from television cameras and, from the very first tee shot, it was the Malbon gear of Day's which caught the limelight.

After seven years with Nike, Day signed a deal with Malbon in January 2024 to wear the brand's golf apparel. Since then, a number of clothing items have caught the eye throughout the PGA Tour season and, at Augusta National, many had their eyes on his attire.

Some compared the pants to those worn by MC Hammer, whilst Sky Sports commentators, Paul McGinley and Sir Nick Faldo, joked that Day ordered a 32" inch waist and got sent a 42".

Such was the reaction, Malbon's X/Twitter admin responded to the comments, with a tweet reading: "Looks like that time for folks to get mad over clothes again".

Jason Day was then wearing an awesome Malbon Championship Vest on day two.

Malbon produce some very stylish apparel and, with Day's appearance at the Masters creating a big-talking point, they have certainly gained more publicity from it all. Below, we have found the best tweets from the social media platform.
