Golfer Jason Day and his family

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.”
