Coetzee breaks ankle, out 8-12 weeks

South Africa's George Coetzee will be sidelined for the next 8-12 weeks after breaking his ankle in an off-course accident.

Coetzee posted a picture of himself in a wheelchair Saturday on Instagram, offering a thumbs-up but also sporting a sizeable cast:

"Had a little fall in the waves," Coetzee wrote. "Thought it was just a brutal twist but it ended up snapping clean through!"

Coetzee, 29, plays mostly on the European Tour, but he made seven PGA Tour starts this season highlighted by a career-best T-7 finish at the PGA Championship.
