Open Championship winner Ryan Fox withdrew from this week’s 3M Open in Blaine, Minn., the PGA Tour announced on Monday.
Fox vaulted from 56th in the Official World Golf Ranking to 22nd after capturing the Claret Jug over the weekend at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England.
Fox, 39, secured his first major title following birdies on four of the final six holes thanks to a series of terrific approach shots and clutch putts. The New Zealand native shot 2-under-par 68 on Sunday and 10-under 270 for the tournament.
Stefano Mazzoli was added to the field Monday after winning the Corales Puntacana Championship in just his third start on the PGA Tour. The 29-year-old Italian drained a 24-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday to win by one stroke in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
