PGA Tour officials confirmed to that McCarthy, a from Washington who was seeking his first PGA title, would not tee off in his scheduled second round at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.

"I was feeling pretty sore and tired after the round," McCarthy told the Golf Channel.

"I didn't think about it much because I practiced a lot Monday through Wednesday."

But when he woke up at night and remained sore, McCarthy said he thought it would be better to get tested before going to the course on Friday.

"I woke up in the middle of the night and my body was really sore and achy and I thought something was wrong," he said.
