wrist injury
Bryson DeChambeau withdraws from final round of LIV Golf with wrist injury
MEXICO CITY (AP) --- Bryson DeChambeau withdrew from the final round of LIV
Golf Mexico City on Sunday, citing an injury to his wrist that he did not want
to further aggravate.
DeChambeau, who was trying to become the first player to win three straight
times on LIV Golf, started poorly at Chapultepec Golf Club and was 16 shots
behind Jon Rahm when he withdrew.
"I experienced some discomfort in my wrist during yesterday's round and have
decided to withdraw from the the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City to prevent
further injury," DeChambeau said on a social media post. "Not how I wanted this
week to go."
DeChambeau said he would be evaluated and hoped to be at LIV Golf Virginia on
May 7-10, a week before the PGA Championship.
He missed the cut in the Masters last week when he took two shots to get out of
a bunker and made triple bogey on his last hole.
Rahm took a two-shot lead into the final round in Mexico City. The week has
been filled with uncertainty surrounding the Saudi-funded league, with CEO
Scott O'Neil writing a memo to staff to say LIV was assured of funding through
the end of the year amid reports speculating about the league's financial
future.
Also on Sunday, LIV announced it would be returning to Chapultepec next year.
