Jason Day has rallied from suffering vertigo on day two of the US Open to earn a share of the lead after the third round of the competition.
The 27-year-old fell down on the course during his second round as he was diagnosed from suffering from Benign Positional Vertigo as he finished the day on two-under.
However, Day battled through his symptoms and managed to record a two-under display of 68 at Chambers Bay to earn a share of the lead going into the final day of the tournament.
Jordan Spieth had a tough time during his round as he struggled with his putting as his four birdies were cancelled out by five bogeys, leaving him to card a round of one-over 71, on four-under for the competition.
The duo are joined in the lead by South African Branden Grace and America's Dustin Johnson, who both carded par rounds of 70, although a double-bogey by Johnson on the 13th hole cost him the outright lead at Chambers Bay.
One of the overnight leaders Patrick Reed had a day to forget as he put in a six-over performance of 76 to drop back into tied-ninth in the competition.
The chasing pack consists of Louis Oosthuizen – who carded the best round of the day at four-under – along with Cameron Smith, Shane Lowry and JB Holmes, who all sit on one-under, three shots off the pace.
