The Mad Scientist played the Masters last week with a series of injuries. Chiefly, the 28-year-old revealed that he suffered from a torn left hip labrum and a hairline fracture. According to the American professional, the injuries occurred two years earlier when he was on a quest to gain mammoth distance after he slipped on the concrete and felt something “pop” in his hand last fall.
