Golf: Gallacher in for Daly at Muirfield

Stephen Gallacher will play in next week's Open Championship after it was confirmed that John Daly is unable to participate.

Daly was due to tee it up at Muirfield as a past winner of the event but will not play again this season after it was revealed that he needs to undergo surgery on an elbow injury.
The problem first surfaced at the Byron Nelson Championship back in May and scans revealed that he had a torn tendon in his right elbow.
Doctors told him that he could continue playing but must avoid hitting anything that might jolt his arm while swinging a club.
And that it exactly what happened at last week's Greenbrier Classic, as the burly American hit a tree root while attempting a 50-yard chip shot on the 12th.
He felt immediate pain and, after further consultation with doctors, was advised to shut it down for the rest of the 2013 campaign.
Daly's misfortune is Gallagher's gain as the Scot was first reserve for the year's third major and will now join the line-up at the East Lothian venue on July 18.
Daly was understandably frustrated at the news that he will not be able to play at one of his favourite events, saying: "I hate missing the British Open, especially at Muirfield. It's one of the best on the planet."
