Justin Rose Withdraws from The Players

PGA Tour star Justin Rose has withdrawn from The Players due to a back injury on Thursday morning. 

Last week, Rose withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational after four holes due to back spasms. The withdrawal came shortly after he made a nine on the third hole.
