The South African felt able to play the final round of the US Open in San Francisco today, but has pulled out of the PGA Tour's Travelers Championship starting on Thursday.

"It's disappointing, but I've been told that I would risk further damage and it would be a long time before things improve unless I take a rest."

Schwartzel was in joint ninth place at halfway, but dropped back to 32nd with a third round 74.
