Phil Mickelson has been forced to withdraw from the US Travellers Championship because of his injured left wrist.
He has been told not to play golf for at least two weeks, according to spokesman TR Reinman, who said he wasn’t sure when Mickelson would play next. Mickelson injured his wrist while chipping from rough at the Oakmont Country Club.
“He’ll continue his therapy. He’ll continue to be monitored by his specialist, and there will be a determination after that,” said Mr Reinman.
Mickelson failed to make the cut at last week’s US Open, ending a streak of 30 consecutive majors in which he made the cut. The inflammation hurt so badly he didn’t play a full practice round before teeing off at the Open last Thursday.
