Day, who had coped with
vertigo recently, eventu-
ally was helped to his feet.
His hands were still shaking
as he went into a bunker,
blasted out to 10 feet and
made bogey. He still shot a
70 and was three shots be-
hind Spieth.
He was being treated at
Chambers Bay. There was
no immediate information
on his condition.
His caddie and longtime
coach, Colin Swatton, said
that it was similar to an epi-
sode Day had last year at
Firestone when he with-
drew after only two holes
in the final round with what
later was diagnosed as
vertigo.
Woods, meanwhile, had
the highest 36-hole score
of his pro career when he
shot 76 to miss the cut at
16-over 156. It was the sec-
ond time in his last three
majors that Woods missed
the cut. He has one more
start, The Greenbrier Clas-
sic in two weeks, before
going to St. Andrews for
the British Open.
“Obviously, I need to get
a little better for the British
Open, and I’ll keep work-
ing at it,” Woods said.
Spieth can lean on the
experience as a Masters
champion, but this major is
nothing alike in every way.
For starters, he had a five-
shot lead going into the
weekend at Augusta Na-
tional. He was at 5-under
