Calcavecchia, Wetterich both injured, withdraw from Open
SAN DIEGO -- Mark Calcavecchia withdrew nine holes into the U.S. Open on Thursday, citing an injured left knee and foot. Also withdrawing before he started the first round was Brett Wetterich with a wrist injury.
He was replaced by Andrew Svoboda, who lost in a five-shot playoff for a spot in the Open. He is playing with J.B. Holmes and Bubba Watson. Svoboda is the second alternate to get into the field. Gary Wolstenholme of England was the first. He replaced Sean O'Hair on Wednesday.
Calcavecchia was 8-over through nine holes when he walked off the course.
Calcavecchia was playing in his 20th U.S. Open. He's missed the cut or withdrawn 10 times.
