Olazabal gets late call for Austrian Open

JOSE MARIA OLAZABAL has been given a late invitation into the Austrian Open in Vienna starting today.

The event was originally due to be played in June just before the US Open, but after the cancellation of the British Masters it went for a later date.

With a prize fund of £875,000 (€980,000) it remains one of the smaller stops on the European Tour and offers only a one-year exemption for the winner, so the addition of Olazabal to the line-up is a welcome boost.
