On Thursday at TPC River Highlands, Jordan Spieth was forced to withdraw mid‑round from the Travelers Championship, a first in his 297 PGA Tour events, after suffering sudden tightness in his shoulder blade that made swinging impossible.

With The Open Championship at Royal Portrush in a month, Spieth will certainly attempt to be back healthy for the year's final major as he continues to make his case for Keegan Bradley to put him on the U.S. Ryder Cup team at Bethpage Black this fall.

Jordan Spieth is out of the Travelers Championship with a shoulder blade injury that showed up out of nowhere. He had to withdraw after 13 holes of the first round.
