A cycling accident has put South African professional George Coetzee in a chase to get fit for the big-money events that will close off the 2013 season.<\/p>\n

Coetzee broke a bone in his right wrist and has been undergoing intensive treatment in the hope that he\u2019ll be ready to play again in the European Tour\u2019s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in St Andrews at the end of this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to stop quickly on the bicycle and it didn\u2019t work out so well. I\u2019m trying to be ready for the Alfred Dunhill Links, but it\u2019s going to be close,\u201d said Coetzee.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of the golf swing, it\u2019s an important bone,\u201d Douglas Wood, Coetzee\u2019s coach when he is in South Africa, said at this week\u2019s Vodacom Origins of Golf tournament on the Sunshine Tour in Parys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is involved in all types of movement in the wrist, so we need it to heal properly.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut George is blessed with a lot of strength in his arms, which will help him. And he knows his body really well, so he\u2019ll know what he needs to do and when he\u2019s ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
