SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Former U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick of Britain has withdrawn from the Olympic men's golf competition after an 81 because of a thumb injury. The International Golf Federation says Fitzpatrick had a strain in his right thumb going into the tournament at Le Golf National. He was six shots behind going into the third round. He had a double bogey on the 13th and a quadruple bogey on the 15th hole when he hit two balls into the water. Fitzpatrick was making his Olympic debut for Britain.
