Pádraig Harrington
Padraig Harrington has been forced to withdraw from this week's FedEx St Jude Classic after being hit on the elbow by an amateur in a freak accident during a coaching session at a company day.
The 45-year old will be out for around a fortnight after receiving six stitches in the wound, revealing on Twitter that he initially feared for his career.

Thankfully nothing was broken,just 6 stitches. I thought it was the end of me playing competitive golf.

I'll only be out for 12 days or so to let stitches heal.

There's no truth in the rumour that it was the amateur's best strike of the day @fesjcmemphis @PGATOUR

Harrington clearly saw the funny side of it adding: "There's no truth in the rumour that it was the amateur's best strike of the day @fesjcmemphis @PGATOUR"
Having failed to qualify for the US Open 10 days ago, Harrington's next appearance is likely to come at the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut. He is then scheduled to play the HNA Open de France before he building up for The Open by playing the Irish Open at Portstewart and the Scottish Open at Dundonald Links
