Dyson steps in as Toms misses British Open

ENGLAND’S Simon Dyson will play in next week’s British Open after American David Toms yesterday became the fourth player to withdraw this week.

Former US PGA champion Toms has a hip injury and pulled out after just nine holes of the John Deere Classic yesterday.

He went into the event with a problem, saying: “I’ve got a bad hip right now and just to walk around this golf course is quite a feat.”
