Frustrated Karlsson counting cost of eye injury

LAST SEASON’S European number one Robert Karlsson could end up missing three of this year’s four majors because of continuing eye problems.

Karlsson, having already sat out the US Open and Open, was back playing in Malmo yesterday, but only for a pro-am – and not very successfully.

When the SAS Masters begins at Barseback today, the 39-year-old Ryder Cup star will be giving a clinic for youngsters before returning to his Monaco home for further tests.
