Dustin withdraws from Travelers, says no cause for alarm

Myrtle Beach resident Dustin Johnson shot 68 in the first round of the Travelers Championship on Thursday before withdrawing. Johnson said he has a sore left wrist that bothered him quite a bit at Bethpage Black last week, but he doesn't believe it's anything serious. It has been diagnosed as a mild sprain and doctors told him it requires rest. He plans to skip the next two events _ Tiger Woods' $6 million AT&T National at Congressional Country Club and the $4.3 million John Deere Classic at the TPC Deere Run in Illinois _ before returning to action in the British Open at Turnberry from July 16-19.
Johnson is 13th in the FedExCup standings. He has three top-10s this year, including a win at the rain-shortened AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am at Pebble Beach and a tie for fourth at the HP Byron Nelson Championship. He has top-40 finishes in the season's first two majors and has finished in the top 50 in his three three career majors.
