Day feeling fine, game in great shape after opening 66

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – After the medical ride Jason Day has been on in recent years he paused on Thursday at St. Andrews when he was asked his health status?

“I should just say healthy, so I don't have to answer these questions anymore,” said Day, who found himself back in contention for his first major with an opening-round 66 at the Open Championship. “I feel good. I'm not thinking about falling over on my face again.”

Day, who collapsed during the second round at last month’s U.S. Open with what was diagnosed as benign positional vertigo, is in much better shape this week thanks to new antiviral medication and plenty of rest.
