Doug Tewell out for two months after surgery

"I've played injured all year," said the eight-time Champions Tour winner. "It's given me fits since the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in California last October. I decided I just couldn't do this any longer."

Tewell described the procedure as "cleaning out scar tissue."

In seven starts, he has earned $43,156, placing him 68th on the money list. His best finish in a full-field event is a tie for 34th at the Toshiba Senior Classic in March. Tewell also made the cut at his lone PGA Tour start, the MCI Heritage. He finished 73rd. It was Tewell's first made cut on the Tour since 2002 at the same tournament.
