American golfer Bryson DeChambeau has had successful wrist surgery after being unable “to compete at the sport’s highest level” since breaking it earlier this year. The 28-year-old earlier suffered a fracture to the bone in his hand and injured his hip when he slipped on a marble floor while playing table tennis in February.

DeChambeau was ruled out for six weeks before missing the cut at both the Texas Open and last week’s Masters tournament.

Following his treatment, the California native DeChambeau revealed all details about the surgery and thanked the concerned doctor for the same. The 2020 US Open champion also stated that he’s looking forward to working even more hard from here, once back on the course.

“Will be taking the appropriate time needed to rest and recover from this procedure”

Bryson DeChambeau took to his Instagram account and wrote a note which read:

“Today, I underwent successful left wrist surgery on my fractured hook of the hamate. The surgery was performed by world-renowned Hand Surgeon Dr. Thomas Graham. I want to thank Dr. Graham and the incredible staff and The Kettering Medical Center in Ohio.

“Over the past few months My Team, Dr. Graham, and Myself have been monitoring the fracture to the hamate bone in my left wrist. I made attempts to play through this injury at three recent events, including the Masters, but this is typically an injury that requires surgical treatment. Through continued discomfort from the fracture, it has caused me to alter my grip and swing, resulting in my inability to compete at golf’s highest level. This has not been easy physically and mentally for me.

“For now, I will be taking the appropriate time needed to rest and recover from this procedure and look forward to competing at the highest level within the next two months.

“Thank you to my family, team, partners, and supporters during this tough stretch but I am excited to work hard to get back competing soon.”
