Reuters: American Ryder Cup player Ryan Moore has withdrawn from next week’s US Open in Wisconsin due to an undisclosed injury, the US Golf Association announced on Thursday.

World number 42 Moore has been replaced in the field by fellow Tacoma, Washington native Michael Putnam, who was the first alternate from the Columbus, Ohio sectional qualifier.

Moore, 34, a former US amateur champion, has played in 10 US Opens.

He was also a member of last year’s victorious US Ryder Cup team that beat Europe in the biennial event in Minnesota.Putnam’s addition to the field comes two days after he endured the disappointment of being the odd man out in a four-way playoff in Columbus for three Open berths.
