Cambuslang golfer sets Challenge Tour target after South Africa trip

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Kirkhill golfer Craig Ross has set his sights on getting full status back on the Challenge Tour, and hopes his form has him on the right track to get there.Cambuslang player Ross finished fourth at the Mangaung Open in South Africa last month, but didn’t make the cut for further tournaments there, and came home early.But the 29-year-old hopes for a good season, and that performances on Paul Lawrie’s Tartan Tour can get him back on the Challenge Tour in May.He said: “I was out playing a championship there, it was the first one back for me, and I did okay, I finished fourth.“I had a chance of winning it, so it was a bit of a disappointing finish, but it was still a good week getting back out there.“I’m just back from South Africa this week but I didn’t play great and missed the cut, so I was home early, which was a bit disappointing.“But I seem to be hitting it well and giving myself chances, which is good.

I don’t have full status on the Challenge Tour so I would like to at least get that again.“I just don’t know what events I’m going to get into, at the moment, and when they start back in Europe in May hopefully I’ll get a few there, so I’d like to get that back.“If I can get off to a good start, like I have done, and just keep it going, then get on to the main tour, get into the top 20 on the Challenge Tour and get a European card, that would be the main goal.“Theres a five-week break in April, I’ll just be playing the Paul Lawrie stuff, the Tartan Tour, in the second week in April, so I’ll play at Royal Dornoch, Montrose, and then go on to Barassie and Dundonald and then hopefully I can get on the Challenge Tour come May,”In July 2018 Ross wons the PGA EuroPro Tour’s Clipper Logistics Championship at Moor Allerton Golf
