Tiger Woods says "a bone popped out" on shot on 9th hole, but he was able to "put it back in"
from Golf DigestBy Sam Weinman
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Just when you thought Tiger Woods was finally healthy, he ran into more trouble on the 9th hole of the Masters on Sunday. The good news is it wasn't his back. Or his knee. Or the other knee.
Instead it appeared to be Woods' wrist that he injured when hitting a tree root with his second shot (Update:
it appears it was not a root, but a particularly hard part of the
ground). Upon impact, Woods immediately let go of his club, and started
shaking his right wrist. While clearly aggravated the rest of the hole,
Woods was able to get up and down for par, but bogeyed the 10th after
spraying the tee shot way right.
In
his post-round interview with CBS's Bill Macatee, Woods said "a bone
popped out" when he hit the shot on 9, but he was able "to put it back
in."
Although
he's been spared wrist problems as a pro, Woods did withdraw from the
2005 U.S. Open at Shinnecock after injuring his left wrist hitting out
of heavy rough.
At the time of the injury,
Woods, who is playing with Rory McIlroy, was one over for the day and 12
shots behind leader Jordan Spieth. His injury was met with swift
reaction on social media.
