Ben Crane withdraws from PGA Championship

The soggy and sloppy PGA Championship at Valhalla has claimed another withdrawal.

Amid a rain delay on Friday morning, Ben Crane announced his withdrawal from the tournament, citing back issues as the reason.

Crane, who has struggled to make cuts for most of the season, was also forced to withdraw at the Bridgestone Invitational last week.

He shot a 3-over 74 on Thursday and sat in a tie for 108th after the first round.
