Haeran Ryu withdraws from LPGA Maybank Classic
Haeran Ryu pulled out of the LPGA Tour's Maybank Classic before her first round on Thursday.
Haeran Ryu has withdrawn from the LPGA Tour's Maybank Classic, per the ESPN report. She exited before her opening round on Thursday and did not hit a shot in the event. Read the full report
The report does not give a reason for the withdrawal. GNN will not speculate on the cause. Until Ryu or the tour says more, the reason remains unknown.
Ryu exits before hitting a shot.
A withdrawal before the first round has a limited effect on the competition itself. The field plays on with one fewer player, and Ryu will not earn any official money or points from the week. Her season totals stay where they were before the event.
The practical question is her schedule. Players who withdraw late often return the following week, but the wire item offers no guidance on Ryu's plans. Her next confirmed start is the thing to track.
GNN will update this item if the LPGA or Ryu shares more detail on the withdrawal.
