Na withdraws from Sentry Tournament of Champions, cites finger injury

KAPALUA, Hawaii – Kevin Na withdrew from the Sentry Tournament of Champions before teeing off on Thursday with a fractured bone in his right pinky finger.

Na said he injured his finger last Thursday and was able to play just 12 holes during Wednesday’s pro-am before the pain became too intense.

“It’s tough because I worked so hard to get here,” said Na, who qualified for the year-opening event for the first time since 2012 with his victory at the Greenbrier last July.

Na was given a pain injection this week and he said he tried a variety of grips in order to play the winner’s-only event.
