“I never really got to the point where I believed golf wouldn’t be in my future and I wouldn’t be able to play,” Furyk said after Wednesday’s pro-am at Quail Hollow Golf Club. “I know that I was in enough pain in the fall and in enough pain in January when I was hitting balls that if I didn’t have to play golf for a living, I probably wouldn’t have had the surgery.
“I told my family that if I had to play golf with this amount of pain and discomfort that I wouldn’t play at all, it just wasn’t any fun. So it made it really easy to have the surgery.”
