PGA Tour Announced Unfortunate News About Golfer at Scottish Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Scottish teed off for its third round on Saturday with multiple recent champions like J.J. Spaun, Aldrich Potgeiter and Brian Campbell missing the cut. Several other golfers are having a hard time at the course, including Scottie Scheffler, who has already made six bogeys in the tournament.
Despite the cut line being merciless to several champions, 40-year-old Paul Waring withstood it. However, his fate got the better of him during the third round. Waring had to withdraw from the tournament after injuring his shoulder.
“Paul Waring WD during the third round of the Genesis Scottish Open with a shoulder injury.” PGA Tour posted on X.
Waring turned pro in 2007. He hasn’t been very active in his PGA Tour career, playing only 22 events. Even out of them, he made the cut in only five. His international wins include one at the Nordea Masters in 2018 and the other at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in 2024.
He began today’s round with a bogey, but followed it with three birdies and another bogey. While playing the back nine, he injured his shoulder, recording three consecutive double bogeys in holes 11,12 and 13 before finally withdrawing.
Rory McIlroy seems to have gotten over his issues. He holds a 7-under score after two rounds.
“Most of it. As I said, there’s still a few loose shots in there but for the most part, it was a good day. I held a lot of putts.” McIlroy said, responding to the question asking whether the rusts were shed.
“I did most things pretty well. So yeah it was a good day for that and as I said, getting into contention and then seeing how your game holds up when you’re in the thick of things, trying to win a golf tournament, I think that tells you a lot more about where you are than just the first two days of a tournament.”
