Lake antics in Paris make Levet a doubt for British Open

JUMPING in a lake to celebrate his French Open win has put Thomas Levet out of this week’s Scottish Open — and quite possibly the British Open as well.

The 42-year-old suffered a small fracture to his shin and had his leg in a cast yesterday.

Levet, who lost a five-hole play-off to Ernie Els in the 2002 British Open at Muirfield, is to receive intensive treatment and will consult a specialist again later this week before making a decision on travelling to Sandwich for next week’s championship.
