Jason Day began Sunday’s final round of the CJ Cup just five shots off the lead and playing in the penultimate group.

He ended it having completed just one hole.

Day withdrew during the second hole Sunday at Shadow Creek, citing a neck injury. No further details were given. The 32-year-old Australian, who shot 66 on Saturday, tripled-bogeyed the opening hole before calling it quits after hitting his approach shot on the next hole.
