Scotland's Paul Lawrie and France's Jean Van de Velde, two of the three players in Sunday's three-way Open playoff, have pulled out of this week's Dutch Open, organisers said Tuesday.

Lawrie, who came back a 10-stroke deficit to snatch the claret jug, and Van de Velde, who triple-bogied the 18th at Scotland's Carnoustie Golf Links to blow a three-stroke lead, both cited "mental and physical exhaustion," as their reason.
