Stricker to miss British Open
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Hoylake, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Steve Stricker withdrew from the British open on Tuesday as he continues to play a reduced schedule.
Stricker also missed the British Open last season due to the same reasons after appearing at the championship for the previous six years.
The 12-time winner on the PGA Tour has missed just two cuts in 13 appearances at the British Open and his best finish was a share of seventh in 2008 at Royal Birkdale Golf Club.
