Fred Funk underwent knee replacement surgery in Jacksonville, Florida today. This was more or less expected ever since he had complications from torn cartilege and a staph infection in 2008. By virtue of his victory at the 2005 PLAYERS, the 53-year-old remains fully exempt on the PGA Tour through 2010. He'll be able to start hitting balls again in about six weeks, and hopes to be back on the golf course in January. Nov. 16 - 10:52 pm et Source: ESPN.com |
