[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…"Wrist injury is ongoing."

‘Hulk’ Bryson DeChambeau (USA) revealed on the 23rd (Korean time), a day before the opening of the World Golf Championships (WGC) Series Dell Technologies Match Play (total prize money $12 million), after completing 9 holes of practice round, "I have been struggling with a left ulnar styloid fracture and a left hip labrum tear." He withdrew just before the second round of the Asian Tour PIF Saudi International on the 4th of last month, and has been on hiatus from the PGA Tour for nearly two months since missing the cut at the Farmers Open in January.

DeChambeau denied rumors that his injury was caused by excessive training to increase swing speed, saying, "I injured my wrist while playing table tennis in Saudi." He added that "It is not fully healed yet, and I probably won't be able to swing at full speed for a while." He also said, "Power shots will be difficult until the Masters in early April," and added, "It is true that it puts strain on me, but I will not give up." On the 24th, he will play his first preliminary match against Richard Bland (England).
