Sahith Theegala WDs from Canadian Open to rest injury
"Doctors have advised me to put the clubs away for a little while, as I get treatment and some rest for an injury I've been battling the last few weeks, so this one stings," Theegala wrote on his Instagram account without specifying the injury.
An ambassador representing title sponsor RBC, Theegala wrote that he is very disappointed and with "a heavy heart" has withdrawn from one of his favorite events of the year. The RBC Canadian Open tees off Thursday at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in Caledon, Ontario.
"The place looks beautiful and I've heard so many great things about the golf course and the facility overall," he wrote.
Theegala, 27, is ranked No. 39 in the world. He has played in 15 events this year, missing two cuts plus one withdrawal and two top-25 finishes. Theegala missed the cut at the Memorial last weekend.
He withdrew on the eve of the PGA Championship in early May due to a neck injury after having to pull out of the Truist Championship after three rounds due to the same ailment. Now he's apparently going to miss next week's U.S. Open at Oakmont.
His lone victory to date on the PGA Tour came at the Fortinet Championship in September 2023.
He is replaced in the field by Cameron Champ, No. 420 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Champ, 29, has three career wins on the PGA Tour and has competed in five events this year, making two cuts.

India's Pant to miss fifth test against England with fractured foot
MANCHESTER, England, July 27 (Reuters) - India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant will miss the fifth test against England at the Oval due to a fractured foot, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Sunday. Pant retired hurt in India's first innings of the fourth test in Manchester, but re-emerged on day two, limping back onto the field to great applause from the Old Trafford crowd. Pant did not keep wicket in England's innings and was not needed to bat as India dug in to earn a hardfought draw and deny the hosts victory in Manchester. "The BCCI Medical Team will continue to monitor his progress and the team wishes him a speedy recovery," a BCCI statement said. "The Men's Selection Committee has named Narayan Jagadeesan as replacement for Rishabh Pant for the fifth test." Pant's fifty on day two, his third of the series in addition to centuries in each innings of the first test, took his run total to 479. He also passed former England captain Alec Stewart as the highest-scoring wicketkeeper in a single test series in England.

Lucy Bronze reveals she played with fractured tibia throughout Euro 2025
Lucy Bronze revealed after England's Euro 2025 final victory over Spain that she had played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia. The right-back, who went off during half-time of extra time of the final because of an injury to her right knee, said she had played all six matches with a fractured tibia in her left leg and described it as 'very painful'. Bronze grabbed attention during the quarter-final win against Sweden for strapping her own thigh deep into extra time before taking off the strapping and scoring a powerful penalty in the shootout. The 33-year-old – one of whose middle names is Tough – had her right leg heavily strapped as England celebrated retaining the Euros title in Basel but told the BBC when asked about that: 'I've actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia but no one knew and then I've hurt my knee today on the other leg. 'I think that's why I got a lot of praise from the girls after the Sweden game – because I've been through a lot of pain. But that's what it takes to play for England. That's what I'll do. They know that and I think we inspire each other by playing through things like that and it got us to the end.' She said the two injuries would not her hold her back when England continue their celebrations behind closed doors before flying home on Monday and heading on Tuesday to a public celebration event in central London. 'I'm going to party, I'm going to enjoy it and that's it,' Bronze said. The Chelsea player said England had blocked out the outside noise after losing the opening game against France. 'We've shown everyone to believe in yourself no matter what other people say about you and to believe in the people who give you that support,' Bronze said.
