OAKMONT, United States: Corey Conners withdrew from the US Open just before Sunday's final round at Oakmont due to injury, the US Golf Association said.

The 33-year-old Canadian stood on eight-over par 218 after 54 holes, 12 strokes off the lead, and was to have played alongside New Zealand's Ryan Fox.

Conners hurt his right arm hacking out of the rough on the 11th hole in Saturday's third round.

The world number 21 is listed as playing in next week's PGA Tour signature event, the Travelers Championship.

Conners had his best US Open finish last year at Pinehurst when he shared ninth. His only other major top-10 efforts include four over the past six years at the Masters, where he shared eighth in April.
