Jason Day re-aggravated a lingering back injury when he picked up his daughter Thursday before Round 1 of the Masters, according to Golf Channel's Ryan Lavner.

Here's a video of Day receiving treatment for the apparent injury:

The 31-year-old was forced to withdraw from the Arnold Palmer Invitational after playing six holes with a sore back in early March. He's bowed out of the Masters early before, doing so in 2012 due to an ankle injury.

For now, Day remains on the course playing alongside Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau.
