Spieth (wrist) expects to be ‘tournament-ready’

Jordan Spieth is expected to make a full recovery from a wrist injury in time for the Masters. The three-time major champion injured his left wrist while practicing in December. He withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am as a result of the injury. Spieth said he is “progressing well” and expects to be “tournament-ready” for the Masters, which begins on April 6. “I’m hitting balls and chipping and putting,” Spieth said. “I’m still not quite where I want to be, but I’m getting there.” Spieth is one of the favorites to win the Masters. He won the tournament in 2015 and finished second in 2016 and 2018.

Jon Rahm’s U.S. Open tune-up ends in ominous fashion

Jon Rahm’s U.S. Open tune-up ended in ominous fashion as the world number two carded a disappointing 76 in the final round of the PGA Tour Mayakoba Classic. The Spaniard, who has not won since the Mexico Open in May 2022, looked out of sorts throughout the day and never really threatened to challenge for the title.

Rahm’s struggles will be a concern for the U.S. Open, which starts next week at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. The 28-year-old is one of the favorites for the championship, but his recent form suggests that he may not be at his best.

World No. 2 Vu withdraws from Chevron Championship due to shoulder discomfort

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — World No. 2 Vu withdrew from the LPGA Chevron Championship on Thursday due to shoulder discomfort.

Vu’s withdrawal marks the first time in her career that she has missed a major championship.

The 24-year-old Vu has been struggling with shoulder pain for the past few weeks. She aggravated the injury during a practice round on Wednesday.

Vu said she is “very disappointed” to miss the Chevron Championship, but she is following the advice of her doctors and physical therapists.

“I’m really hoping to be back competing soon,” said Vu, who won her first major championship at last year’s Amundi Evian Championship.

Vu is the second top-ranked player to withdraw from the Chevron Championship. World No. 1 Ko Jin-young withdrew on Tuesday due to a wrist injury.
