(Reuters) - Former winner Mark O'Meara has withdrawn from next week's British Open because of an elbow problem, his agent said on Thursday.
O'Meara, 57, won the event in 1998 at Royal Birkdale to become the first player since Ben Hogan to win two majors in one year in his 40s. He was 41 when he won the Masters in the same year.
