FLOURTOWN, Pa. — Days before the second major of the season, Sahith Theegala withdrew from the PGA Tour’s Truist Championship on Sunday, citing a neck injury.
Theegala opened with rounds of 69 and 71 at the $20 million, no-cut signature event before falling into last place in the field with an 8-over 78 on Saturday. After an opening birdie in the third round, Theegala carded four bogeys, a double bogey and a triple bogey at the Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course.
Theegala, 27, was ranked No. 31 in the world entering this week.
It is unknown whether he will be ready to play in the PGA Championship, which begins Thursday at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C.
Theegala was the third player to withdraw from the Truist Championship, following Englishman Justin Rose (illness) and Michael Kim (back).
