Sweden’s Carl Pettersson and American Jason Bohn have both pulled out of this week’s USPGA Championship at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Petterson’s wife gave birth to the couple’s second child just over a week ago and he has decided on time at home instead of in Tulsa, while Bohn – who qualified on Sunday at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational – pulled out due to an unspecified injury.

Australia’s Stephen Leaney and American Bo Van Pelt take their places.

Americans Ted Purdy, Brian Gay and Steve Marino are next on the alternate list for the PGA Championship, followed by Londoner Brian Davis.
