Thomas Levet might miss British after celebration injury

If 2010 was the year of the 59s, then 2011 might be the year of the freak celebration injury.

Exactly three months ago to the day, Stacy Lewis won the Kraft Nabisco Championship, and tradition says that the winner must jump in Poppie's Pond next to the 18th green. Sadly, Stacy's mom Carol nearly broke her leg in the jump, ending up with just a torn muscle from the leap into uncharted waters.

Thomas Levet (above on the left, with his manager Patrice Bartez) probably could have used some advice from Carol. After winning the French Open, his country's championship, the 42-year-old went for his own cannonball experiment into the lake at Le Golf National and might have injured himself right out of the British Open in two weeks.
