U.S. Open champion Goosen, Price out of PGA Championship

Associated Press

HAVEN, Wis. –U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen and three-time major winner Nick Price withdrew Sunday from the PGA Championship because of injury and family obligations.

Goosen was injured in a jet ski accident two weeks ago that also caused him to pull out of The International. Goosen, No. 6 in the world ranking after winning his second U.S. Open title two months ago at Shinnecock Hills, has played in 22 consecutive majors.

Price, who won the PGA Championship in 1992 at Bellerive and in 1994 at Southern Hills, is skipping the final major for the second straight time. He skipped last year to spend an extra week of vacation with his children. His oldest son, Gregory, turns 13 today.
