SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Phachara Khongwatmai of Thailand has withdrawn in the middle of the final round at the Olympic men's golf competition because of a back injury. Khongwatmai was even par for day through 10 holes and 5 over for the tournament. He is the second player to withdraw from men's golf this week. Former U.S Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick withdrew after the third round Saturday with an injury to his right thumb that had been bothering him when he arrived. Khongwatmai was making his Olympic debut.
