Jordan Spieth withdraws from PGA event for first time in 297 starts

Spieth made it through 12 holes before he decided he could no longer compete. He made five bogeys during the incomplete round and was 5-over par at the time he withdrew.

It became obvious that Spieth was dealing with an injury after he hit his drive on the 12th tee, as he let out a loud grunt and seemed extremely frustrated.

After he hit his approach shot on the same hole, Spieth was heard saying he "just can't do it" and that he was unable to finish his backswing. The 31-year-old later revealed that he woke up with pain in his neck and received treatment, but the condition worsened as his Thursday round progressed.

Spieth has played decent golf this season. He finished tied for 23rd at the U.S. Open last week and has four top-10 finishes on the year, including when he came in seventh at The Memorial Tournament last month.

Spieth has three major wins in his career, with his last coming at The Open Championship in 2017. He has been trying to get back to championship form for quite some time, but the neck injury could be a setback.
