INVERNESS, Scotland (AP) Thomas Levet could miss next week's British Open after breaking his shin jumping into a lake to celebrate his victory at the French Open. The former Ryder Cup player has a cast on his leg as a result of his exuberant celebration at the 18th hole at Le Golf National on Sunday, ruling him out of the Scottish Open starting at Castle Stuart on Thursday. The 42-year-old Levet's management company, IMG, says he is receiving "intense treatment to the fracture" and will consult with a specialist this week in a bid to make the Open. Levet leaped into a lake after beating England's Mark Foster and Dane Thorbjorn Olesen by a shot, ending his 25-year wait to win his home championship.

It is probably a good idea to try your best to figure out how deep the water is - before you take a victory jump - [link]
