Champ WDs at The Players with back injury
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Cameron Champ’s rough start to 2019 got even worse Friday when he withdrew midway through his second round at The Players becuase of a back injury.
Champ opened with 78 and was 2 over par through eight holes Friday when he pulled out. He had battled back injuries while at Texas A&M.
The big-hitting Tour rookie turned heads last fall when he won the opposite-field event at the Sanderson Farms and added two other top-10s, but Champ has been unable to carry over that form into the new year – he’s failed to post a single top-25 in seven full-field starts, including a missed cut last week at Bay Hill when he opened with 81.
