Hours after winning The Players Championship, Si Woo Kim withdrew from this week's AT&T Byron Nelson and cited a back injury that has caused him trouble throughout the season.
Kim finished three shots clear of Louis Oosthuizen and Ian Poulter at TPC Sawgrass, becoming the youngest winner in tournament history at age 21. While he refers to Dallas as his "adopted hometown," the Korean released a statement through the PGA Tour Monday explaining that a lingering injury resurfaced prior to his final-round 69 on the Stadium Course.
"On Saturday night at The Players, my back began to flare up," Kim said.
