On Friday, Jason Day caused a serious scare when he became dizzy and collapsed on the ninth fairway. On Saturday, the 27-year-old earned a share of the 54-hole lead with a two-under 68 in the third round of the 2015 U.S. Open.

Day is tied with Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Branden Grace atop the leaderboard. According to the PGA Tour, it has been just over four decades since four golfers were tied for the lead after three rounds of the U.S. Open:

Simply finishing two shots under par in the third round of a major tournament on a course that is giving every golfer a wealth of problems is impressive all by itself. Day's performance was downright inspiring.

His caddy revealed just how much Day's vertigo was affecting him on the course, per Golf Channel's Cara Robinson:



Kelly Tilghman of Golf Channel provided more perspective on the situation:



Even more astounding about Day's round is that his best work came on the back nine, when the effects from his vertigo would seemingly hit him the hardest. He birdied 10, 12, 15, 17 and 18 to close out his round. Fox Sports provided highlights from some of his best shots:



Day chalked up his slow start to the medications he received to deal with the vertigo.

"I didn't feel that great coming out early and then felt like—I felt pretty groggy on the front nine just from the drugs that I had in my system then kind of flushed that out on the back nine," he said after going into the clubhouse, per ESPN.com's Bob Harig.

He certainly overshadowed the other three guys vying for the lead.

Spieth was the only one of the quartet who posted a third-round score that was over par. After an up-and-down front nine, he recovered well on the back nine. The 21-year-old finished with a one-over 71.
