Jason Day Collapsed, and Golf Became an Afterthought at the U.S. Open

UNIVERSITY PLACE, WA JUNE 19: Jason Day of Australia is tended to by caddie Colin Swatton as he lays on the ninth green after falling due to dizziness during the second round of the 115th U.S. Open Championship at Chambers Bay on June 19, 2015 in University Place, Washington.

A very scary moment occurred on Friday at the U.S. Open as Jason Day collapsed just as he and playing partner Jordan Spieth were finishing up their final hole of Day 2.

At first, Day seemed to have fallen, perhaps slipped on the grass, but the longer he laid motionless (for almost ten full minutes), the crowd began to realize that something was wrong.

According to Golf Channel (via Days wife Ellie), dizziness has been an issue for Day for as far back as 2010, and he even had to withdraw from the AT&T AT&T Byron Nelson after noticing symptoms of dizziness during a practice round. Vertigo-like symptoms also kept him out of the 2014 WGC-Bridgestone Bridgestone Invitational.

But on Friday, Day showed fans that he had quite a bit of fight in him. After he managed to stand and steady himself, he was able to manage a mid-range putt, a bogey to put him even-par 70. According to Brian Floyd and Brendan Porath of SBNation, it was the best bogey youll see this weekend.
