By Michael Shamburger
Jason Day has found an answer to his vertigo problems. Day told Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis that he was diagnosed by Dr. John Oas, a specialist in neurology and vertigo at Ohio State, with a viral infection that’s attacking the inner ear nerve in his right ear. Day is now taking medication that drastically reduce the chances of him suffering another episode of vertigo.
