Playing in pain

R.W. Eaks, who finished second at last week's Toshiba Classic at Newport Beach Country Club, withdrew after six holes Friday because of a back injury.

Eaks, who posted a 17-under 196 to finish two strokes back of Jay Haas last week, started Friday on the back nine. He parred his first four holes before taking a double-bogey 5 on the par-3 14th. After making a par on the 15th hole, Eaks decided to call it a day.
