CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Will Zalatoris was inside the ropes Thursday at the Presidents Cup, but he didn’t have his clubs.
“This is like being hung by your toenails,” he said.
Zalatoris was a lock to make his first U.S. cup team this year but suffered a back injury last month that didn’t just knock him out of the FedExCup playoffs – potentially costing him a shot at $18 million – but also this week’s competition at Quail Hollow.
An MRI determined that the 26-year-old Texan had two herniated disks. He said Thursday that rebab is going well but that he’s still months away from competing again on Tour.
