Dustin Johnson Withdraws from AT&T Byron Nelson
Dustin Johnson has dropped out of this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson due to discomfort in his knee.
The withdrawal is concerning given that it is the week before the PGA Championship.
“Unfortunately, the knee discomfort I occasionally experience has returned and after consultation with my team and trainers, I feel it is best that I remain at home and focus on my rehabilitation work,” said Johnson in a statement.
He continued, “I am not pleased about this situation, as I was really looking forward to playing this week. I have several friends in the Dallas area, many of how I have met through thier involvement with the tournament, so I hate to let them down.”
Greg Chalmers will replace Johnson in the field.
