Donald to miss rest of 2008 golf season

Golf Betting Lines

08/12/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Luke Donald will miss the remainder of the 2008 golf season after undergoing surgery on his left wrist Monday.

Donald was hurt during the final round of the U.S. Open in June. He hit a drive on the 15th tee at Torrey Pines and immediately sought medical attention before deciding he could not continue.

The 30-year-old Englishman first opted for rehab, then decided to have surgery. Monday's procedure was performed by Dr. Andrew Weiland in New York.

"The injury Luke suffered is not all that uncommon for golfers and baseball players and I'm confident he will make a full recovery with the proper rehabilitation and training," said Dr. Weiland in a release by Donald's management. "I'm extremely pleased with how the surgery went."

Donald will begin strengthening exercises in six weeks and should be able to begin chipping and putting after three months of recovery and rehab.

"While there is never a good time for an injury, the timing of this injury was especially disappointing for me considering that it forced me to miss the [British] Open Championship and it comes in a Ryder Cup year," said Donald. "But taking proper care of it is my highest priority and I'm encouraged by Dr. Weiland's experience with this type of injury and his outlook towards my recovery and rehabilitation."

Donald, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, had been a part of Europe's last two Ryder Cup teams. He notched three top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour this year, with a runner-up at the Honda Classic his best result.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
