Olazabal drops out because of injury
Carnoustie, Scotland ? Two-time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal withdrew from the British Open on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old Spaniard dropped out because of an injury, but the specifics of his problem were not immediately available.
Olazabal was replaced by American Tom Pernice Jr., who already was traveling to Scotland as the next alternate on the list.
Another U.S. golfer, Lucas Glover, was added to the British Open field on Monday when Japan’s Shingo Katayama withdrew from the tournament because of back and knee injuries.
Olazabal is a two-time major champion.
He won the Masters in 1994 and 1999. He twice has finished third in the British Open, including two years ago at St. Andrews.
