Defending champion Davis Love III withdrew earlier this afternoon from the Wyndham Cham
pionship in Greensboro, North Carolina due to a doctor's recommendation to remove kidney stones that have caused pain for the past month. Love will rest for the next week and says that he will be ready for the first event in the FedEx Cup playoffs, the Barclays in nine days. Love's withdrawal means there will only be three top-50 players in North Carolina this week, Anders Hansen (40), John Senden (47), and Carl Pettersson (48). The 19-time PGA Tour winner re-designed Forest Oaks where the tournament is held this week.
