Jason Day suffered an injury scare during his practice round Tuesday at Royal Troon ahead of this week's Open Championship
Day was getting ready to close out the practice round when he injured his side hitting a tee shot on the 18th hole.

"I just popped something," Day said, via the Golf Channel. "You know, like when you crack your knuckle. But it's all good."
Though Day appears to be fine, he has developed a reputation for over-dramatizing small knocks and, according to the report, appeared to be in anguish after grabbing his rib area. Moments later, however, he jogged along the fairway handing out autographs.
Expect Day to be healthy and ready to go as one of the favorites this week. Even if he has drubbed up another excuse if things go poorly.
