Bryson DeChambeau withdraws from LIV Golf Mexico City with wrist injury
Bryson DeChambeau has withdrawn from the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City after sustaining a wrist injury.
The American was sitting at two over par and trailed third-round leader Jon Rahm by 16 strokes before opting out of Sunday’s action.
He struggled to find his rhythm earlier in the tournament, carding consecutive rounds of 71 before managing a two-over-par 73 on Saturday.
Precautionary measure for Crushers captain
The two-time major winner explained the decision was strictly a precaution to avoid aggravating the discomfort.
“I experienced some discomfort in my wrist during yesterday’s round and have decided to withdraw from the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City to prevent further injury.”
He expressed disappointment at missing the conclusion of the weekend but wished his team a strong finish.
The hard-hitting golfer will now undergo further medical evaluation in the coming days.
Focus shifts to upcoming major
DeChambeau is hopeful he will recover in time for the next scheduled LIV Golf League event.
The circuit heads to Trump National Golf Club in Washington DC for LIV Golf Virginia, which begins on May 7.
More importantly, the 32-year-old is slated to compete in the PGA Championship just one week later.
A prolonged absence could significantly disrupt his preparations for the crucial second men’s major of the season.
