Graeme McDowell fick en rejäl portion otur tidigare i veckan.
Dagen före kvalet till The Open på Carnoustie flög nordirländaren mellan Frankrike och Manchester. McDowell kom fram, hans klubbor gjorde det inte.
Under tisdagen var det dags för en kvaltävling till majortävlingen men under måndag kväll hade klubborna ännu inte kommit fram och då valde ”G-Mac” att dra sig ur kvaltävlingen. Istället ska han försöka kvala till majortävlingen via Irish Open i veckan.
”Jag kan inte ge 100 procent om jag inte spelar med min egen utrustning som tappats bort av Air France. Många undrar varför jag inte bara lånar klubborför att förska ta mig in till The Open. Självklart skulle jag kunna försöka, men jag hade inte kunnat spela min bästa golf”, skrev nordirländaren på Twitter.
Need assistance from @airfrance. Flew into Manchester last night from CDG and my golf clubs are untraceable. I have a 36 qualifier tomorrow for @TheOpen and really need my bag. Thanks in advance. #help

Clubs still not on way from Paris. Established that they are in the black hole known as CDG. @airfrance and @AirFranceUK have been very quiet on Twitter lately so no communication. Looking doubtful I will participate tomorrow @TheOpen qualifier.

Terrible time of the year for holiday makers losing bags. I’m certainly not any more important than the next person who has lost a bag, just happens to impact my livelihood this week. Customer service is so frustrating in this case for everyone.

I have officially withdrawn from @TheOpen qualifying tomorrow at St Anne’s Old Links. I cannot give 100% without my own equipment which has been mishandled by @AirFrance and must turn my attention to @DDFIrishOpen this weekend. Thanks for all the support.

I hear you man. Only 3 spots from 72 decent players and I have another event to get ready for this week, so have to cut my losses and start preparing. https://t.co/L49rE58pQh
