Kevin Chappell: Dealing with back injury

Chappell withdrew from the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play during his match against Ian Poulter on Friday due to a back injury, Rex Hoggard of GolfChannel.com reports.

Analysis:

Chappell was already down three through eight holes when he elected to withdraw due to a back issue, allowing Poulter to advance to the round of 16. Chappell will take the upcoming week off from competition as he prepares for the Masters, where he'll hope to be back at 100 percent.
