KIAWAH ISLAND, South Carolina (Reuters) - American Scott Verplank withdrew from the PGA Championship with a hip injury on Friday, half way through his second round at the Ocean Course. Verplank shot a three-over-par 75 in his opening round but struggled badly on Friday with two double-bogeys and two bogeys as he reached the turn in six-over 42. The 48-year-old Texan, a five-times winner on the PGA Tour, tied for fourth place in last year's PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club.
