MATSUYAMA PULLS OUT OF SONY OPEN ON HAWAII
HONOLULU (AP) --- Hideki Matsuyama has withdrawn because of a wrist injury from the Sony Open which tees off today at the Waialae Country Club, Hawaii.
Matsuyama, the first rookie to win the Japan Golf Tour money title, was playing for the first time since he won the Casio World Open in Japan when he teed it up in Wednesday's pro-am.
He then pulled out with soreness in his wrist.
Matsuyama was the sixth-highest ranked player in the field at No. 23 in the world. Matsuyama had said his wrist was getting better, but that he had not been able to practise much going into the first full-field event of the year on the US PGA Tour.
One man's misery is another's good fortune. He was replaced in the Sony Open by Robert Streb.
Inverness-born, Florida-based Russell Knox is in the field.
Honolulu is at least 10 hours behind UK time so allow for that if you want to follow the live scoring service on the US PGA Tour website
