WILMINGTON, North Carolina (Reuters) - Japan's Ryo Ishikawa, once one of the brightest young talents in golf, is struggling to retain his PGA Tour exemption after a back injury and loss of form with his driver.

Ishikawa has only seven tournaments, including this week, to earn $354,700 (or 218 FedEx Cup points) to keep his card as he plays his way back via a medical extension after missing about five months last year.
