Dizzy Day overcomes vertigo in epic Open performance

Ill Aussie grabs share of the lead with lionhearted display at Chambers Bay

The toughest test in golf met one tough player on Saturday at the US Open.

Jason Day had every reason to withdraw when he collapsed on the final hole of his second round with a nasty bout of vertigo. He gave it his best shot under the stiffest conditions yet at Chambers Bay. The vertigo returned on the back nine, along with nausea. When he turned his head toward the target, he had to wait for his eyes to stop dancing before he could swing. He thought about quitting three times.
