Golf-Eberl, Lee withdraw from U.S. Women's Open with injuries

BETHLEHEM, Pennsylvania, July 9 (Reuters) - Martina Eberl of Germany and Lee Seon-hwa of South Korea withdrew from the U.S. Women's Open on Thursday due to injury, officials said.

Eberl pulled out after playing nine holes because of a wrist injury. She was on nine over par after starting from the 10th.

Lee, playing in the same group as Eberl, quit the tournament due to a back injury after shooting nine-over-par 80.

American Christina Kim, the third member of the group, shot one-over-par 72.
