Los Angeles: Reigning US Open champion Brooks Koepka said on Friday that he’ll be sidelined ten weeks with a partially torn wrist tendon but hopes to be back for the Masters in April.
“I am frustrated that I will now not be able to play my intended schedule,” Koepka said in a statement. “But I am confident in my doctors and in the treatment they have prescribed, and I look forward to teeing it up at the Masters.”
Koepka finished last in the field of 34 at the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii two weeks ago. He had played with pain in his left wrist in finishing last at the unofficial Hero World Challenge in December as well. “It’s like someone’s jabbing a knife in my wrist or hand,” he said in Hawaii.
