    Australian Marc Leishman opened LIV Golf UK with a 2-under 69 Friday at JCB Golf and Country Club in Rocester, England.

    However, his week took an unexpected turn when he had to get his appendix removed and was forced to withdraw from the Saudi Arabia-backed circuit’s 11th event of the season.

    “Disappointed to have to WD this week but health always comes first. I came to England with an appendix and will leave without it! Appendicitis is no joke,” Leishman said in a social media post Saturday.

    The Ripper GC member has three top-10 finishes in 10 previous LIV starts this season, highlighted by a runner-up at LIV Golf Singapore in May.
