Coming into the Masters, Paul Casey had been a bit of a doubt following his withdrawals from the Valspar Championship and WGC-Dell Technologies Championship.
Now, despite playing the Par-3 contest on the eve of the tournament, Casey has been forced to withdraw from the event with injury before a tee shot was even struck at Augusta National on Thursday morning.

It is a very unfortunate situation for Casey who, prior to the injury, had been showing glimpses of superb form. At The Players Championship he finished in third position and just two shots behind the eventual winner, Cameron Smith.
Along with the third place finish, the 44-year-old has had two top-15 finishes at the Genesis Invitational and the Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic. However, following his withdrawal from the Masters, it is unclear when Casey will return to competitive action, with the Englishman likely to take some time off to fully recover from the injury that has plagued him during the last month.
