Jason Day's Vertigo Appears At The Worst Possible Time

Scary stuff today at Chambers Bay as Jason Day suffered a bout with vertigo while walking down the 9th hole's steep hill.

Three-under-par at the time, Day managed to bogey the hole and sign his card.

Brian Wacker at PGATour.com with the latest on Day's condition as he sits in the top 10 and in his motor home parked on site here.

Day was treated at Chambers Bay, where he is staying for the week with his family, by Dr. Robert Stoecker and Dr. Charles Souliere and is resting comfortably, according to a statement from his agent.

"His condition is being monitored closely and he is hopeful he will be able to compete this weekend in the final rounds of the U.S. Open," the statement said in part. "He wants to thank all who treated him at the Franciscan Medical Group and thank all of the fans and friends who have reached out to he and his family.” 

The scary moment put Fox Sports very much on the spot and they passed their first big broadcasting test with flying colors, handling the scary situation with the right tone. Though I'm not sure Greg Norman leaving the booth to go use his connections to chat with Day while under duress was the Woodward and Bernstein moment John Strege says it was, they handled it to perfection. Though not having an on-staff reporter possibly hurt their ability to shed light on Day's recent issues or his condition.

Fox Sports has posted video of the scary moment.
