Golf-Langer to play with his son in Dutch Open

ARLANDASTAD, Sweden Aug 17 (Reuters) - Bernhard Langer will play with his 17-year-old son Stefan for the first time in a European tour event at the Dutch Open next week after overcoming kidney stone problems.

Langer had to withdraw from the Players Championship of Europe in Hamburg three weeks ago after suffering acute pain but he has recovered in time to line up at the Kennemer club near Zandvoort with amateur Stefan.

Their names appeared on the entry list released at the Scandanavian Masters on Friday.

It is 17 years since a European father and son first teamed up in a European Tour tournament when Antonio Garrido appeared in the 1990 Spanish Open with his son Ignacio, who was 18 at the time. Ignacio's uncle German also played in that event.

Antonio and Ignacio have both played in the Ryder Cup although not together.

American Craig Stadler and his son Kevin, both European Tour title holders, played in the 2002 European Masters in Switzerland, while Jay and Billy Haas featured in the 2004 U.S. Open.
