While Jason Day might be known for his prowess on the golf course, he's walking away from the green – at least temporarily – to be with his mother in Columbus, Ohio who has been diagnosed with lung cancer.
For treatment, Day flew his mother, Dening – an Australia resident – to Columbus, Ohio to be treated by the experts at Ohio State's James Cancer Center.
Day talked to the Golf Channel about the situation:
“It’s really hard to even comprehend being on the golf course right now because of what she’s gone through,” Day said.
