Loch Lomond, Scotland (My Sportsbook) - Trevor Immelman, the 2008 Master's champion, will miss the upcoming British Open due to a nagging wrist injury. Immelman, who is suffering from severe tendinitis with tears in the cartilage of his left wrist, has been sidelined since withdrawing from the Memorial Tournament a month ago. "The Open Championship has always been one of my two favorite tournaments and it has been a thrill for me to compete in the tournament since my first time there in 2002," said Immelman. "My wrist injury has been responding well to treatment, but at this point, it just isn't far enough along to allow me to be ready for the Open. As disappointing as it will be to not be there, I have to continue doing what's right for my long-term health. I'm looking forward to continuing with the rehabilitation and getting back to doing what I love, playing golf." He hopes to play at the RBC Canadian Open a week after the Open Championship, which begins on July 16. |
