"My wife joked it was kind of the first day of school," Furyk said. "She wanted to know if I had my best outfit on."
Furyk admitted to being rusty following a nine-hole practice round with Davis Love III n Tuesday at Quail Hollow, but said his wrist is healthy enough to withstand Tour conditions.
He was encouraged by his abbreviated practice round on Tuesday where he tested the injury by playing shots from Quail Hollow's thick rough.
"I know I can't hit 100 balls every day and go out and play 18 holes and then go practice again," Furyk said. "I've got to pace myself a little bit."
