(UDHAYAM, COLOMBO) – Pre-tournament favourite Dustin Johnson has suffered a lower-back injury following a fall at his rental home ahead of Thursday’s opening round of the Masters in Augusta.
His agent David Winkle says he still hopes to play today.
World number one Johnson fell on the stairs on Wednesday and “landed hard on his lower back”.
He is said to be uncomfortable but is resting and doctors have advised him to remain stable.
Johnson is due to tee off in the last group at 19:03 BST on Thursday evening.
