EDISON, New Jersey (Reuters) - PGA Championship winner Jason Day of Australia withdrew from Wednesday's Pro-Am at The Barclays tournament due to a back issue but should be able to tee off in Thursday's first round.
The withdrawal was a precautionary move, the player's trainer said in a statement at the first event of the four-tournament, season-ending FedExCup playoffs that start on Thursday at Plainfield Country Club.
"Jason tweaked his back moving an item under his motor coach last night," said Cornel Driessen, Day's physiotherapist and trainer.
