Oh no, silly billy. Left ankle too, which makes it even worse for a right handed golfer. He has not ruled himself out of the Open yet, but does not look good.

If he's actually ruptured it, I can't see that he has any chance of playing The Open, it's next week FFS.

He will not be playing...That game of footy has just cost him a fortune

Is it "silly"? It's just one of those things. He could have done exactly the same whilst out for a run. If he'd broken a leg whilst BASE jumping off the Shard in the middle of the season, then yes, that would be silly. But he was only kicking a ball around with mates by the sound of it. Do we expect the bloke to spend his entire life (when not golfing) sat in front of the TV?

No, you are quite right. Just means that there is now a higher chance that a nasty American chap may win The Open.
Perhaps we should set up a Just Giving page to raise some much-needed money for him.

Are they allowed to use buggies in the Open ? I assume not.
Nope.

I really doubt the cash issue is that important to him. I would imagine the lack of prestige and ratings are however. Can't blame him for having a kickabout, if that's the case we're all 'silly' surely?

Young man plays a game of football......can't see anything silly in that. If anything, that's how the world should be. OK, he'll lose out on some money but he's not exactly struggling to get by on a minimum wage, or to pay back a student loan, is he?
PS. Don't footballers sometimes play golf? Very silly of them - they could lose an eye if they got in the way of one of those shots!

Well that pretty much shows us then that golfers cannot be classed as sportsman then. A little kick about in real sport takes him out!!!
But in all seriousness, I very much doubt that he did anything other than be on the end of a freak injury.
Although I do question his sanity in dumping Caroline Wozniaki!!

I don't blame him...was just stating a fact. You are right though that the ranking points and removal of the chance to win another major in his prime years will impact his potential legacy
He has now.

Indeed. Shame - would have been good to see him and Speith up against each other. Oh well. Just hopes he makes a full and quick recovery.
Not sure Speith has given himself the best prep playing in the John Deere.

Nope. He has got to earn the plane fare I suppose. What's the weather forecast? I hope it blows a gale and chucks it down for 4 days to make it interesting, otherwise St Andrews is too easy these days.
