A month break to let his back heal has turned into much longer for Nick Watney, who says he is done for the rest of the season. Watney, whose six PGA Tour victories include a World Golf Championship and a FedEx Cup playoff event, has a herniated disc in his lower back. ”I just don’t want it to turn into a chronic thing and have it every few years,” Watney said over the weekend from his home in Austin.
