Bryson DeChambeau has wrist surgery in Ohio

Orthopedic Sports Medicine

Orthopedic surgeon Thomas Graham, MD, operated on the left wrist of Bryson DeChambeau on April 14, according to a post on the professional golfer's Instagram profile.

The surgery addressed a fractured hook of the hamate in Mr. DeChambeau's wrist and was performed at Kettering (Ohio) Health, where Dr. Graham serves as senior vice president and chief innovation and transformation officer.

"I made attempts to play through this injury at three recent events, including the Masters, but this is typically an injury that requires surgical treatment," Mr. DeChambeau said. "Through continued discomfort from the fracture, it has caused me to alter my grip and swing, resulting in my inability to compete at golf's highest level. This has not been easy physically and mentally for me."

Mr. DeChambeau said he hopes to return to competitive action in the next two months.
