Jason Day has withdrawn from the final round of the BMW Championship on Sunday, citing a back injury.

Day entered the final round at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Ind., at 5 under par, 13 shots back of 54-hole leader Dustin Johnson. He played nine holes before pulling out of the tournament.

The world No. 1 will have a week to rest his injury, as the Tour Championship, the last of the four FedEx Cup playoff events, does not start until Sept. 22 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

Day suffered a back injury earlier in the season, en route to victory at the WGC-Dell Match Play in March.
