PAUL PULLS OUT OF US OPEN QUALIFIER
BECAUSE HE IS NEEDED AT HOME

Paul Lawrie is among seven withdrawals from Monday's US Open qualifying tournament at Walton Heath, Surrey.
American Notah Begay, England's James Hepworth, Simon Wakefield and Robert Rock, Irishman Peter Lawrie, Spaniard Alvaro Quiros and Indian Jyoti Randhawa have also pulled out of the 36-hole event.
It leaves only 65 players, including Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley, competing for around nine places at Oakmont.
Aberdonian Lawrie, whose five-year exemption from qualifying for the US Open as a result of winning the 1999 British Open ran out in 2005, revealed his wife Marion goes into hospital in two weeks, which clashes with the US Open.
And, with her parents away, he is needed to look after their two young sons.
Two years ago, New Zealander Michael Campbell came through the qualifier without a shot to spare and went on to win his first major title at Pinehurst.
After missing his last five halfway cuts and struggling with a hamstring strain, Clarke is having to enter a qualifier for a major for the first time since the 1995 British Open.
He is down to 93rd in the world, while McGinley, a fellow hero of the last three Ryder Cup victories, has fallen all the way to 133rd.
