No fairytale finish for Jason Day at US Open

Jason Day was simply zapped.

All the energy and effort needed to get through his remarkable third round at the US Open caught up with the Australian while playing in the final group on Sunday.

Tired and drained, and still feeling the effects of the vertigo that caused him to collapse on the final hole of his second round, Day faded.

Understandable, and disappointing all the same.

“He was totally exhausted. He was exhausted yesterday,” Day’s caddie and longtime coach Colin Swatton said. “I’m not sure how much of yesterday took it out of him. I really don’t. It’s in the result. I don’t know what to say. I’m obviously disappointed.”
