Brooks Koepka entered the RBC Canadian Open as one of the favorites to win the event and looked to be well on his way to contention after firing a first-round 64 to be tied for the lead.
He followed that up with another strong performance in the second round, carding a two-under, 68 to sit at eight-under for the tournament heading into the weekend. His tournament started to unravel in the third round when he carded a double-bogey on just his second hole before carding two more bogeys within the first 10 holes as he plummeted down the leaderboard.
Now fans might know why he was struggling on the course.

On Sunday morning, just ahead of the final round of the RBC Canadian Open, the PGA Tour's communications departments revealed Koepka withdrew from the tournament with a hand injury.
It's unclear when Koepka suffered the injury, but it could have impacted his play during the third round when he fired a two-over, 72 to fall seven shots off the lead.
The final round of the RBC Canadian Open saw its tee times adjusted due to inclement weather in the forecast.
"Due to Sunday’s forecast for inclement weather at the RBC Canadian Open, tee times for the final round will run from approximately 10:30 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. ET in groups of three from tees 1 and 10," the PGA Tour announced.
It's currently underway with Jackson Suber holding a one-shot lead.
