Why Brooks Koepka Withdrew From Final Round of RBC Canadian Open Despite Being 6-Under
Koepka, 36, had been 6-under through three rounds before the PGA Tour said a hand injury ended his bid for a top-20 finish.
- On Sunday, Brooks Koepka withdrew from the RBC Canadian Open in Caledon, Ontario, due to a hand injury, the PGA Tour confirmed prior to the final round.
- Koepka labored through a 2-over-par 72 on Saturday at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, where he received treatment on the 11th tee box during the third round.

- Figuring out the injury is paramount with the Open beginning next week at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, where Koepka won consecutive Open titles in 2018.
