11. (i) How has this season been for you so far?
Fairly good, finished 4th in the first event and lost out in a playoff early july. So there are some encouraging signs.
I’ll keep working hard and look to have a strong finish to the year.
11. (ii) What are your main goals for the remainder of the season?
Get into the top 6 of the order of merit by Aug 18th so I dont have to do stage 1 of Europeantour Qualifying.
Finish in the top 5 by the end of the season, giving me a Challange Tour category for next season, and a successful trip to the Qualifying School.

2 years into a career on the European Tour
13. If golf didn’t exist, what would you be doing?
Never given it any thought. I play the guitar so i’d have to say to be playing in a successful band travelling the world.
