Biography
Took time to warm to the task of competing on The European Tour after obtaining his card via the Challenge Tour in 2001. His first year left him in 133rd place on the Order of Merit but a return to the Qualifying School was rewarded with eighth card. He made good use of it, finishing 107th in 2003 and subsequently 90th, 105th and a career-best 73rd in 2006. In his formative years, his frustrated family persuaded Dereham Golf Club to bend their rules and admit him after he began breaking windows and digging up the lawn while practising. Still coached by his first mentor, Steve Beckham, with whom he worked at Barnham Broom, but decided club golf was not for him. Club members came to his aid in 2001 when they bought £500 shares to cover his costs on the Challenge Tour. After winning £75,840 (£47,154) for fourth place in the Rankings that year they were rewarded with a dividend.
