Jason Day conceded his match at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play to Pat Perez on Wednesday after six holes, withdrawing from the tournament to spend time with his mother, Dening, who he revealed is battling lung cancer.
“My mom has been here for a while, and she has lung cancer,” a tearful Day said after pulling out of his match. He added, “It’s really hard to even comprehend being on the golf course because of what she’s going through.”
An Australian doctor diagnosed Dening with terminal lung cancer at the start of the year, giving her 12 months to live. Day, whose father Alvin passed away from stomach cancer when he was 12 years old, brought her to the United States with the hopes of access to better medical care. Dening has a Friday procedure scheduled to remove what Day describes as a 3-4 centimeter-size mass in her lung.
