Golfer Levet breaks leg while celebrating win

Posted July 6, 2011 09:34:00

Thomas Levet is a doubt for the British Open after cracking his right fibula when he jumped into a pond to celebrate his French Open win.

After clinching his first ever French Open success, and sixth European Tour victory, last Sunday, the Frenchman launched himself barefoot into a pond protecting the 18th green but hurt himself on the rocks at the bottom.

Seen to be limping heavily on Sunday night, Levet subsequently underwent scans that revealed a fracture to his right fibula.

He is scheduled to meet a specialist on Wednesday, when he will decide whether or not to participate in the British Open at Royal St George's on July 10-17.
