Golf Magazine : reported that Lydia Ko withdraws from Texas Shootout with an eye infection

World No.1 Lydia Ko withdrew from the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout because a viral eye infection today. Lydia Ko lines up a putt at the third hole during the first round of the Volunteers of America North Texas Shootout. The Golf Channel reports that the infection in Ko's eye was exacerbated because of allergies. It got so bad, she said she couldn't see the little white alignment line on her putter," Michael Yim, Ko's agent, said. It's been a tumultuous spring for Ko, who split with her newest caddie after just nine events earlier this month.

Lydia Ko retains No. 1 ranking despite withdrawing from Texas Shootout with eye infection
So disappointed to have withdrawn today @ntshootout due to an eye infection. Ryu and Jutanugarn tied for ninth at 2-over — five strokes behind the playoff contenders Haru Nomura and Cristie Kerr. 1 spot in women's golf may be loosening but, despite a viral eye infection forcing her out of last week's LPGA Tour event, the 20-year-old heads to Lorena Ochoa Match Play tournament atop the Rolex Rankings for the 80th straight week. Ko withdrew from the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout before her third round on Saturday with a puffy left eye that allergen blowing around in the Dallas-area air made worse. Ko, meanwhile, enters her 20s as golf's winningest teen prodigy, with two major championship titles and 12 other LPGA victories.

Lydia Ko withdraws from Texas Shootout due to eye infection

It was a short week in Texas for Lydia Ko, who withdrew Saturday from the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout due to a viral eye infection. Due to irritation, she had to play the second round of the 2016 ANA Inspiration with just one contact lens. "Her left eye started swelling up (Friday)," Yim told Golf Channel. Per Golf Channel, Yim was able to pull this off and the agent added that the doctor gave Ko a prescription and eye gel but also told her she shouldn't wear contacts. But she was still in line to play the weekend before this setback.
