Kevin Na withdraws from Masters mid-first round due to illness

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Kevin Na won't be around for the celebration if a LIV Golf League player claims a green jacket Sunday in the 87th Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.

Na, captain of the Iron Heads GC, withdrew from the Masters on Thursday after scoring 4-over 40 on the first nine holes. Augusta National Golf Club said Na withdrew because of illness.

Na, who was making his 12th appearance in the tournament, made a double bogey on the first hole. After making a birdie on the second, he had bogeys on three of the next four holes.
