SPY VIP GolfSpy_X Posted July 6, 2011 SPY VIP Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thomas Levet could miss next week's British Open after breaking his shin jumping into a lake to celebrate his victory at the French Open.The former Ryder Cup player has a cast on his leg as a result of his exuberant celebration at the 18th hole at Le Golf National on Sunday, ruling him out of the Scottish Open starting at Castle Stuart on Thursday. The 42-year-old Levet's management company, IMG, says he is receiving "intense treatment to the fracture" and will consult with a specialist this week in a bid to make the Open. Levet leaped into a lake after beating England's Mark Foster and Dane Thorbjorn Olesen by a shot, ending his 25-year wait to win his home championship.

72strokes Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Levet tweeted this morning that he will be out for the next 4-6 weeks, missing the British Open. No, it's not tradition to jump into the lake after winning the French Open. Levet was just caught up in the moment after becoming the 3rd Frenchman to win their national championship in the past 3 decades. Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambles Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 4 to 6 weeks for a 42 year old to mend a broken bone sounds optimistic to me. Maybe the bone was just bruised. Shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambles It was apparently a pretty small fracture. I suspect that he's not even on crutches. If it was a clean break, I'm sure that it would take quite a bit longer to heal.

If it was a clean break, I'm sure that it would take quite a bit longer to heal. I guess I have the wrong perspective to measure this. It seems like a long ago dream time for me to have healed that quickly even for a very small fracture. Shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
