Furyk withdraws from Bridgestone with back injury

Golf Betting Lines

08/02/2007 - Akron, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jim Furyk withdrew from the Bridgestone Invitational before Thursday's first round with a back injury.

Furyk was coming off a successful title defense at the Canadian Open last weekend, his first win of the season. It moved him to No. 2 in the latest world rankings.

He said he aggravated the back injury while hitting balls at Firestone Country Club on Tuesday.

"I'm very stiff right now, don't have a lot of movement in my upper back and then into my neck because of the connection," Furyk said on Wednesday, adding he would be disappointed to miss one of his five favorite events of the season.

Furyk's withdrawal from the World Golf Championships event leaves in doubt his status for next week's PGA Championship at Southern Hills.

"I would love to try to be prepared and ready to go at the PGA, but if that's not the case, just get healthy and get strong," he said Wednesday. "I've had a good stretch the last few months of playing, so it's a little easier to handle."

Despite winning just once, Furyk has been perhaps the steadiest golfer in the world this season. He has eight top-10 finishes and has not finished lower than 13th in any of the first three majors.
