ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Jason Day has been here before.
He began last month’s U.S. Open tied for the lead. He was two back to start the final day at the 2013 Masters. He trailed by four after 54 holes at Augusta National in 2011.
Each time the Australian came up short, sometimes agonizingly so like at Chambers Bay, where the lingering effects of benign positional vertigo caught up with him on Sunday on his way to a tie for ninth. With each experience, however, Day has tried to learn from the moment.
“I think I need to just embrace it more,” said Day, who will head out in Monday’s penultimate group tied for the lead at the Open Championship.
