Knee knock puts Adam Scott out of
Australian PGA Championship

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Arizona-based Australian Adam Scott has withdrawn from this week's Australian PGA Championship in Coolum after injuring a knee while swimming.
Scott, ranked 17 in the world, twisted his right knee while coming out of the surf on Sunday and took the precautionary step to pull out. Scott's manager Justin Cohen said the Queenslander was disappointed to be missing the tournament but was confident he would be fit for next week's Australian Open.
"He had gone for a swim, was coming out of the surf and as you do, you go for a body surf," Cohen said. "He got up and was making his way in the shallows and he's just twisted his knee a little bit."
He added: "It's purely precautionary and we fully expect him to be ready to go for next week."
The results of MRI scans on the knee are yet to return, but Cohen was in no doubt that Scott would be a starter for the Australian Open.
"I'm confident there is nothing wrong with it," he said.
"It's happened in the past and he knows how to deal with it, and I can't stress enough that it is all very minor, purely precautionary for this week."
Scott's place in the Australian PGA will be taken by New Zealander Andrew Searle.
