Good news for Luke Donald about

his sore wrist - it's not serious

Luke Donald conceded his third-round World Match-play tie to Ernie Els on the 18th tee when he felt soreness in his left wrist, the same one he had surgery on six months earlier.
Donald headed to New York to see a doctor - and has received a good report.
Apparently the pain was caused by scar tissue, not the tendon that was repaired. Donald said he should be able to resume practising after a few days of treatment and anti-inflammatory medication.
He hasn't ruled out playing in the Honda Classic.
"I'm obviously very pleased with Dr Andrew Weiland's diagnosis, and while I was disappointed to have to withdraw from the Accenture Match Play Championship, I wanted to make sure I was doing what was best for my long-term health," Donald said.
Donald first injured his wrist at the U.S. Open last year at Torrey Pines. He had surgery two months later, missing the Open, US PGA Championship and any hopes of making the Ryder Cup team.
+The attendance Saturday at Dove Mountain was 7,640, nearly half as much as Thursday's session, but still higher than last year when Tiger Woods won two matches on his way to victory.
Geoff Ogilvy noticed it the first year he won this tournament, beating Davis Love III in the final.
"When we're alone for breakfast at La Costa, there's 25 tables in there, and Davis and I are walking one side of the room to the other," he said. The locker room attendant is standing over you the whole time because you're one of only two guys. You pull into the parking and you have the pick of the places."
