McGinley's return

West Ham fan Paul McGinley is getting back to golf ahead of schedule and mainly because of an Arsenal supporter. McGinley hopes to return at the Marriott Forest of Arden next week for the Daily Telegraph Damovo British Masters.

This following surgery on a serious knee problem a month ago.

The operation to correct a torn cartilage, ligament damage and chipping of the bone was conducted by knee surgeon Andy Unwin in Windsor just hours after an MRI scan revealed the injury.

"Mr Unwin, who is the knee surgeon to the Arsenal footballers and attends all their games, told me that there was so much damage it would have collapsed completely within a month if I hadn't had the operation, he said.
