Paul McGinley

McGinley is in the field for the Trophée Hassan II in Morocco on the European Tour. It's his first event since undergoing the sixth operation on his left knee at the end of last season, Golfweek reports.

McGinley will not be in the U.S. Open field after falling short in a qualifying tournament in England on Monday.

McGinley says his poor 2006 season was due to a fault in his swing that dropped his average driving distance to 279 yards, the Irish Independent reports.

McGinley withdrew from the PGA Championship to attend the funeral of Darren Clarke's wife, heather, the Associated Press reports.

McGinley is in the field for this week's Wales Open despite minor knee surgery last week, the Associated Press reports. "The doctor was very happy with what he saw. I don't foresee any more problems," McGinley said. "Structurally and physically, my knee is very strong now."
