Bryson DeChambeau has pulled out of the final round at LIV Golf Mexico City after experiencing wrist problems during Saturday's play. The 32-year-old American sat 16 strokes adrift of leader Jon Rahm when he made the decision to withdraw, having carded rounds of 71, 71 and 73 to sit at two over par. "I experienced some discomfort in my wrist during yesterday's round and have decided to withdraw from the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City to prevent further injury," DeChambeau stated on social media. "Not how I wanted this week to go, but wishing the Crushers a strong finish." The withdrawal caps a difficult fortnight for the two-time US Open champion, who failed to make the weekend at Augusta National after a disastrous finish to his second round. DeChambeau triple-bogeyed the 18th hole at the Masters, requiring two attempts to escape a bunker on his final hole. The Crushers GC captain had also voiced frustration with playing conditions at Chapultepec earlier in the week, describing damaged grass around the course and sarcastically criticising the rough. His wrist troubles are not unprecedented; DeChambeau underwent surgery four years ago to repair a fractured hamate bone in his left wrist. DeChambeau indicated he would take several days to have his wrist assessed, with his sights set on competing at LIV Golf Virginia from 7-10 May at Trump National Golf Club in Washington DC. That event falls just one week before the PGA Championship at Aronimink in Pennsylvania, where he is also scheduled to compete. Mexican golfer Luis Carrera stepped into the lineup to replace DeChambeau for Sunday's team competition, marking his first appearance on the LIV circuit. The withdrawal is particularly frustrating given DeChambeau's recent form; he claimed back-to-back playoff victories at LIV Golf Singapore and LIV Golf South Africa in March, taking his career tally on the Saudi-backed tour to five titles.
