World number three Day confirmed that his mother is having a procedure on Friday to remove a mass in her lungs, and he was unable to focus on golf.
Day conceded against Pat Perez in the first match of round-robin play in Group Three after falling three holes down in six holes.
“Emotionally, it’s been wearing on me for a while,” a tearful Day said.
“And I know my mom says not to let it get to me, but it really has, so I just need some time away with her to make sure that everything goes well.
“She is the reason that I’m playing golf today. Family’s first, and it’s just a hard time.”
