Mackenzie Hughes withdrew from the 2023 Travelers Championship on Thursday afternoon after his first round due to illness.
The 32-year-old Canadian shot a 6-over 76 on the opening day of play at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, but really only played three poor holes. Hughes began his round on the back nine and made double bogey on the par-4 15th, bogey on the par-3 5th and a triple at No. 7, a par 4. He made par on the other 15 holes.
Hughes has a win at the Sanderson Farms Championship and two top-10 finishes this season in 20 starts on the PGA Tour. He has cleared more than $3 million in earnings this season and currently sits No. 35 in the FedEx Cup standings.
