The withdrawal of Grayson Murray from the 2022 Butterfield Bermuda Championship has been confirmed, The Royal Gazette can report.

Murray, a 29-year-old from Raleigh, North Carolina, was involved in a three-vehicle collision in Paget yesterday afternoon and suffered multiple injuries to his arms and legs.

Also hurt in the crash, which involved two rental scooters and a car, was Murray’s caddie, Douglas Schwimer, 37.

However, Schwimer will nevertheless retain his involvement in the four-day event by getting on the bag of first alternate Johnson Wagner.

He is off at 12.15pm from the 1st tee in a threesome with fellow American Adam Schenk and Noh Seung Yul, of South Korea.

Play begins tomorrow at Port Royal Golf Course at 7.35am with the 132-player field in a two-tee start featuring morning and afternoon sessions.
