PAUL LAWRIE TO MISS MOROCCO EVENT
SO THAT HE CAN GO TO DONS' CUP FINAL
Ardent follower of the fortunes of Aberdeen
"It means I will mss out on the Hassan II Trophy in Morocco but it's been 14 years since the Dons were in a cup final and 19 years since they won a trophy so I can't miss the chance," says Aberdeen-born Paul.
"Whenever I'm at home and able to go to the football, I do. And a Dons' appearance in a cup final is one occasion I can't pass up.
"It's not as if I have a long-time association with the Morocco event and I don't feel as if I will be letting anyone down. I like Morocco and hope to play there in the future but it would have been a stand alone event for for me, so missing it lessens the impact.
"If the Scottish League Cup final hadn't been on in Glasgow, I would have played as it fitted in well to my schedule but one event won't make much difference in the season.
"With Aberdeen also going well in the Scottish Cup, there had been the chance of seeing the Dons in two finals this season but I'm definitely playing in Spain on the weekend of the Scottish Cup final which falls the week before Wentworth and there is no way I can miss that event as its in the midle of a busy period for me."
