EDISON, N.J. – Pat Perez has withdrawn from The Barclays after opening with a 79. He did not give a reason for his early exit.

Perez will not accrue any FedExCup points this week, as a result. But he started the Playoffs ranked No. 52 so he should be safe for next week’s Deutsche Bank Championship which features the top 100 in the standings.

Perez’s round included a penalty-induced five-putt at the 17th hole. He was assessed one-stroke after his 13-footer for par horseshoed out of the hole and hit him in the foot.
