Jesper Parnevek flying back to US for hip operation

Jesper Parnevik might have played his last round of the season.
The 44-year-old Swede, who tied for 17th at the SAS Masters on the European Tour today, said that he will have a hip operation next week in a clinic at Vail, Colorado.
The Florida-based Parnevik, a former SAS Masters champion, finished second in the 1994 Open at Turnberry, narrowly missing out on becoming Sweden’s first men’s major winner.
He’s struggled on the US PGA Tour recently. The five-time winner in the United States hasn’t finished better than a tie for 42nd at the Buick Invitational.
