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.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
