Bryson DeChambeau Withdraws From Final Round Of LIV Golf Mexico City

Bryson DeChambeau at LIV Golf Mexico City.

Bryson DeChambeau has withdrawn from the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City after feeling discomfort in his wrist during Saturday's play.

The Crushers GC captain released a statement on social media explaining the decision.

He wrote: “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.

"Not how I wanted this week to go, but wishing the Crushers a strong finish. I’m going to take a few days to get evaluated and hope to be ready for LIV Golf Virginia.”

DeChambeau’s withdrawal brings to an end a frustrating week for the two-time US Open winner, having also criticized the course conditions at Club de Golf Chapultepec during the first round.

DeChambeau headed to Mexico City looking for his third consecutive LIV Golf title, having gone back-to-back with wins in Singapore and South Africa.

However, he hadn’t been at his best all week, with two even par rounds of 71 followed by a two-over 73 on Saturday to leave him 16 shots behind leader Jon Rahm.

DeChambeau’s underwhelming performance also came immediately after the disappointment of missing the cut at The Masters after beginning the Augusta National event as one of the favorites to win the Green Jacket.

LIV Golf Virginia begins on May 7th, giving DeChambeau almost three weeks for his wrist to recover, where he will be hoping not only to come through it unscathed but also with one eye on his next Major appearance, which comes the following week at the PGA Championship.

While DeChambeau didn’t confirm which wrist was bothering him, it isn’t the first time he has struggled with one of the joints.

Almost exactly four years ago, he underwent surgery on his left wrist to repair a fractured hook of the hamate.
