Mackenzie Hughes has revealed the horror injury which forced him to pull out of the a golf tournament
Hughes tied for 49th at last week’s US Open at Los Angeles Country Club
Hughes shot 76 in the first round but withdrew immediately after.
And taking to Twitter, he has now revealed the reason for this.
The Canadian explained how a plane journey saw him experience discomfort in his lower right back, with laying down on the floor failing to fix the issue before a CT scan revealed he had kidney stones.
He wrote: “I went to the front of the plane and laid down on the floor, but nothing was helping.
“The pain was so bad I felt nauseous and I started to throw up.
“After a CT scan it turned out that I had kidney stones, which explains the intense pain I was having.
“I had a 4 mm stone which the doctor said would likely pass, so it was just pain meds and rest the last few days as I tried to pass it.
“Unfortunately I haven’t passed it yet and I’m still dealing with lots of discomfort.
“I hate to WD from one of my favorite tournaments of the year, but I look forward to getting healthy and getting back soon.”
Hughes tied for 49th at last week’s US Open at Los Angeles Country Club.

How To
How to improve your golf swing with 5 easy exercises
Golf is a very popular sport. To become a skilled golfer, it takes a lot practice. Practice is the best thing to do in order to improve your game. Golf should be played at least two hours per week. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to find the time. These five simple exercises can help you improve your golf swing.
- Start from the ground: Stand straight and keep your back straight. Hold your club straight. Bend your knees slightly to swing the club. Concentrate on your target. This helps you get into the right position to hit the ball.
- Maintain your balance – You need to stand straight, keep your feet apart, and make sure your weight is evenly distributed. Your weight should shift toward the front when you hit it with the ball.
- Bend your knees – To help you bend your knees, place your hands on your hips. Take a deep, slow breath. Next, bend your knees and exhale. This will allow your lower body and legs to follow the swing of the club.
- Relax your shoulders – Try to relax your shoulders so that they do not interfere with your swing. Let them free-range as you swing your club. This will let you generate power, speed, and force without needing to exert too much force.
- Keep your eyes on your target. Focus on the target and look straight ahead. Keep in mind that you can’t see the problem if you look at the ball.
