Cameron Smith has withdrawn from this week’s BMW Championship in order to rest a hip that has been the source of discomfort for several months.

The WD is related to an ongoing hip injury that the Open Championship winner has been managing for several months.

The world No.2 will compete in the FedEx Cup finale, the Tour Championship, in two week’s time.

“Unfortunately, Cam will be unable to compete in the BMW Championship this week in Wilmington DE,” his agent, Bud Martin, said in a statement. “He has been dealing with some on and off hip discomfort for several months and thought it best to rest this week in pursuit of the FedEx Cup.”
