Jason Day "felt nauseous all day" but still worked his way to joint-top of the leaderboard in the US Open.

Jason Day battled his way to the top of the leaderboard at the US Open despite feeling "nauseous all day".

The Australian took a share of the lead going into the final day, despite suffering from vertigo for a second successive day at Chambers Bay.

"I didn't feel that great coming out early, 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," said Day, according to Sky Sports News.

"But then the vertigo came back a little bit on the 13th tee box, and then I felt nauseous all day. I started shaking on the 16th tee box and then just tried to get it in, really."

Day's round of 68 leaves him tied at four-under-par with Americans Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth, as well as South Africa's Branden Grace.
