Luke Donald, the 2023 and 2025 European Ryder Cup captain, was forced to withdraw from the PGA Tour's 2024 World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico on Saturday due to a back injury.

Donald shot rounds of 72-69 to turn in a two-day total of 3 under, a shot better than the 36-hole cut of 2 under. During the third round, the Englishman was even par through 13 holes -- he started his day on hole No. 10 -- with three birdies, a bogey and double bogey on the card before calling it a tournament.

In just six previous 2024 starts, Donald's T-68 finish at the PGA Championship was his only made cut.
