Lydia Ko Withdrew From 2017 Volunteers of America Texas Shootout With Eye Infection

1 Lydia Ko withdrew from the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout Saturday morning due to a viral eye infection. With an afternoon start to the second round, Ko didn't finish until the early evening, after eye doctor offices were closed. Yim sought the help of some friends, who connected Ko with an eye doctor who was able to treat her after hours. "The doctor gave Lydia a prescription and eye gel to help her, but he said she shouldn't wear her contact lenses," Yim said. The reason for Ko's withdrawal was originally reported to tour officials as "eye disease," but Yim said it's an infection.


After fighting allergies all week, Ko withdraws from the #LPGATXShootout with a viral eye infection: https://t.co/m4TnAMGCWh pic.twitter.com/sKHqWxtgXs — Golf Channel (@GolfChannel) April 29, 2017Ko battled the pollen-filled airs of Irvine, Texas early in the week, which culminated in a viral eye infection, forcing the 20 year old to withdraw from the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout. She has dealt with eye irritation before, however it did not force her to withdraw from last year's ANA Inspiration. Ko was able to proceed in that tournament using a contact lens in one eye, which doctors said wouldn't be feasible in Texas. Lydia Ko is out in Texas. She came out and shot a 1-under in Thursday's opening round, but a 73 on Friday left her one over par when she withdrew.
