Champ Kind Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (Reuters) - Former world number one Luke Donald has been handed a spot at the British Open after South African Jaco van Zyl was forced to withdraw due to injury on Wednesday. The 38-year-old Briton, world ranked 83rd, was in danger of missing his first Open since 2008 but will now not have the pressure of needing to finish in the top-four at this week's Scottish Open to make the field.
