Defending champion Brooks Koepka has withdrawn with a knee injury from the CJ Cup that the PGA Tour has verified.
There was no immediate confirmation of the seriousness of the injury, the length of the world No 1 may be ruled out for and whether or not he will feature at the WGC-HSBC Champions in China, that tees off on October 28 with a $10m (Number 7.7m) bag.
In the CJ Cup on Friday, two birdies were created by Koepka against five bogeys as he carded a 75 to depart himself 13 strokes behind leader Justin Thomas at the halfway point, and he opted against starting the next round Saturday.
Thomas shot on a nine-under 63 to take a two-stroke lead after 36 holesputting himself in position to win his second PGA Tour event in South Korea in 3 years.
South Korean-born New Zealander Danny Lee (66) had been at a tie for second place using first-round leader Byeong Hun An (69).
