* Holder Oosthuizen has eye infection<\/p>\n

* In-form Dane Bjorn also withdraws<\/p>\n

(adds Bjorn withdrawal)<\/p>\n

By Bernie McGuire<\/p>\n

MALAGA, Spain, March 21 (Reuters) – Holder Louis Oosthuizen<\/a>
\nhas withdrawn from this week\u2019s Andalucian Open after suffering
\nan eye infection.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s disappointing because not only were we looking forward
\nto seeing Louis return to defend but it was our chance to also
\ncongratulate him on then going on to win the British Open,\u201d a
\ntournament official told Reuters on Monday.<\/p>\n

The South African\u2019s withdrawal reduces the number of major
\nchampions teeing-up on the Parador Malaga course on Thursday to
\nthree; Jose Maria Olazabal<\/a>, Paul Lawrie<\/a> and Michael Campbell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In-form Dane Thomas Bjorn<\/a>, who won last month\u2019s Qatar
\nMasters, has also pulled out for unspecified reasons.<\/p>\n

Oosthuizen endured a disappointing end to his breakthrough
\nseason last year, tearing ankle ligaments while on a hunting
\ntrip and missing seven weeks as the European Tour reached its
\nclimax.<\/p>\n

He claimed his first victory since his British Open triumph
\nat St Andrews last July when he won a three-way playoff to land
\nthe African Open in January.<\/p>\n
