Malton and Norton golfer Simon Dyson may miss next week's Italian Open because of illness.

He was seeing a doctor today for blood tests after feeling unwell in the Madrid Open.

Despite feeling listless and tired he shot a 67 at Club de Campo yesterday to finish four under par for the tournament which was won by Danish player Steen Tinning.

Dyson, who shot 74 on Saturday, is currently 58th in the Order of Merit.
