Donald out of Scottish Open.

Luke Donald has withdrawn from the Scottish Open which starts this Thursday, as he battles to overcome the wrist injury he picked up in the final round of the US Open at Torrey Pines. Donald, who has slipped to 39th on the Ryder Cup standings, finshed fourth last year, and was runner up to Johan Edfors two years ago at Loch Lomond, but a spokesman for the Englishman has said that his injury needs one more weeks rest. "Lukes been speaking to specialists and is almost ready to resume playing, but as a precaution hes going to give it one more week" said Donald's spokesman. Another absentee from the event will be German Martin Kaymer, whose mother died of cancer over the weekend. He is currently seventh in the Ryder Cup standings. Despite the withdrawals, the event retains a very strong field, including Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Adam Scott, Lee Westwood, Colin Montgomerie and Rocco Mediate, who lost the memorable play off to Tiger Woods at last month's US Open.
