Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entering the second round of the 2025 PGA Championship, all players remained healthy and the field remained in tact. That changed midway through the second round of the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, as Patton Kizzire withdrew from the tournament. PGA Tour communications announced he pulled out of the event because of an unknown injury.

He had a big hill to climb on Friday, and his day started terribly. Kizzire was 6-over through the first six holes of the day, but would choose to pull out after making a par on 10. He let Matt McCarty and Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen know he would bow out after he shook their hands on the 10th green.

More Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Kizzire struggled off the tee (-0.331 in SG off the tee), approaching the green (-0.920 SG), from tee to green (-1.037) and on the greens (-2.428). The only stat area where he did not lose strokes was around the green, where he picked up +0.364 shots. This withdrawal is not Kizzire's first in 2025. He also did it at the Valspar Championship. The three-time PGA Tour winner threw a tantrum at the Copperhead course as Kizzire punted his putter like a football. The following week, he missed the cut and was T65 at the Valero Texas Open, followed by missed cuts at Augusta National and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. He started the year with a T40 at the Sentry in Hawaii, but went downhill from there. Kizzire missed the next six cuts and has nine on the season overall, with just one Top 25 that came last week at the Myrtle Beach Classic with a T20. The 141st player in the world has made just $172,509 on the season, and if his play does not improve, he will likely miss the playoffs, too.

A Masters' moment: Patton Kizzire crawls through shrubbery on hands and knees to find his golf ball
Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Patton Kizzire provided the first viral moment of the 2025 Masters when his errant tee shot on the fifth hole sailed right of the fairway on the fifth hole, prompting the American to crawl through the shrubbery on his hands and knees in an effort to find his ball and attempt to save par. It's not a sight patrons at the Masters see very often. But Kizzire was photographed on all fours in the bushes while assessing his second shot after finding the ball. He found enough space to maintain a solid stance and slapped the ball out into the fairway without any further damage, but wound up missing a par putt and made a bogey-5. Kizzire's misery didn't end there as the 39-year-old followed that with another bogey on No. 8 and a double bogey on No. 9 to shoot 3-over 39 on the front. Kizzire's scored later ballooned to 7 over through 16 holes, leaving the Alabama native and three-time PGA Tour winner in last place after finishing his opening round. One golf fan wrote on X: 'The Masters aren't truly underway until Patton Kizzire is crawling around in the pine straw off to the right of the fifth fairway.' Aaron Rai and Stephan Jaeger were the early leaders at 4-under, while defending champion Scottie Scheffler was two shots back after six holes. Rory McIlroy, in search of his first Masters win and completing the career grand slam, tees off later in the afternoon. ___ AP golf: recommended

Patton Kizzire crawls in shrubbery to line up shot after wayward drive during the Masters
Patton Kizzire found himself in a precarious position on the fifth hole during the first round of the Masters on Thursday. Kizzire, 39, hit a wayward tee shot into the bushes off the right side of the fairway. As he tried to figure out how he was going to get out of the shrubbery, Kizzire crouched down on all fours to try and find a window he could hit his second shot out of. The expedition into the bushes proved fruitful, as Kizzire found a satisfactory hole within the branches. He punched his second shot out into the middle of the fairway without any issues. His third shot on the par-4 fifth was 152 yards out. He hit his iron shot to five feet and gave himself a chance to somehow save par after his troublesome drive. However, Kizzire blasted the five-foot par putt past the hole and had to settle for bogey. At the time of this writing, Kizzire was 4-over par through eight holes. This is Kizzire's third Masters start and his first since 2019. This is the first major the Montgomery, Alabama, native has played in since the 2022 U.S. Open. Kizzire played college golf at Auburn and turned pro in 2008, and he earned his PGA Tour card through the Korn Ferry Tour in 2015, when he won Player of the Year with two wins and 12 top 10 finishes. Kizzire joined the PGA Tour in 2016 and has three career tour wins. He won the 2017 OHL Classic at Mayakoba, the 2018 Sony Open in Hawaii and the 2024 Procore Championship in September.
