Paul Casey comeback delayed: rib injury not healed
Paul Casey won't be making his comeback in this week's Deutsche Bank Championship after all.
The Englishman, ranked No 3 among the world's pros, has withdrawn because of a rib injury that has kept him out of golf for the last month.
Casey withdrew earlier today after hitting nothing more than a sand wedge on the practice range at the TPC Boston.
He had an MRI after withdrawing from the US PGA Championship last month. It showed a tear of an oblique and a strain of an intercostal muscle. Casey had a cortisone shot, although he was worried about making the injury worse and not being able to feel it.
He is No. 27 in the FedEx Cup standings, making him a virtual lock to advance next week if he can play. Casey also is No. 2 in the Race to Dubai on the European Tour.
