Jason Day’s PGA Championship round goes from bad to worse, Twitter reacts

Jason Day implodes during the third round of the US PGA Championship to give away a solid chance at a second career major, as Twitter reacts in amazement.

After starting day three of the year’s final major just two shots off the pace, the Australian world number seven crashed out of contention spectacularly with a six-over-par 77 at Quail Hollow in North Carolina.

The 2015 US PGA Championship winner plummeted to a share of 16th at even-par, seven shots back of leader Kevin Kisner.

The American Kisner also battled to a rollercoaster 72 but at seven-under the card the South Carolina native clung to a one-shot lead over world number three Hideki Matsuyama (73) and Chris Stroud (71).

Justin Thomas (69) and 2010 British Open winner Louis Oosthuizen (71) share fourth a shot back at five-under.

Playing in Saturday’s final group with Kisner and Matsuyama, Day’s nightmare round was epitomised by a bizarre decision on the par-4 18th hole to go for the green with his approach after finding trouble from the tee.
