Overview
- Koepka withdrew before the final round at the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday after developing sudden numbness and an inability to grip the club with his ring finger and pinkie.
- He received on-course treatment from his trainer on the practice range and again on the 11th tee during the third round, then shot a 72 before deciding not to play Sunday.
- The PGA Tour confirmed the withdrawal as a hand injury, and Koepka has not announced a formal diagnosis or given medical clearance for the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills.
- The problem began during warm-ups on the range, lasted through the round, and Koepka said the last holes felt better only after treatment or medication, according to his post-round comments.
- Koepka’s history of left-wrist tendon damage and recent return to the PGA Tour after LIV Golf raise concern about recovery time and how the injury could affect his performance at next week’s U.S. Open.
