Lancashire, England (Sports Network) - Mark O'Meara, the 1998 British Open
champion, withdrew from this year's event at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, with an
undisclosed injury.
O'Meara, who won his claret jug at Royal Birkdale the same year he won the
Masters, will not be replaced in the field, since it is already over the
normal 156 players.
