Casey remained in Akron for the duration of the tournament to receive treatment from PGA Tour physiotherapists before heading to Hazeltine National in Minnesota yesterday.

"I've been able to rest it the past few weeks but tweaked it (last) Monday playing out of the rough. "It's a frustrating injury to receive as the only real cure is rest. I will hope this improves so I can initially participate in the PGA Championship. "We then have an important run of events for the FedEx Cup and the Race To Dubai, so I will hope that any lay-off is as short as possible." |
