It was written- “It is with deep regret I announce I will not competing in the 2016 Summer Olympics this coming August in Rio de Janeiro. The reason for my decision is concerns about the possible transmission of the Zika virus and the potential risks that it may present to my wife’s future pregnancies and to future members of our family.”
The 28- year- old is one of the best golfers and his withdrawal could be bad for Australia.
