(Reuters) - Nearly two years after Dustin Johnson was knocked out of the Masters when he injured his back slipping on stairs on the tournament's eve, his caddie and brother Austin has broken a bone in his hand in a similar mishap.

Austin suffered the injury while packing up on Sunday night at the rental house where the brothers were staying at the Players Championship in Florida, world number one Dustin told reporters.
