Alps Tour cards for McBride, Bryan and Clarke
The Island’s Paul McBride and Druids Heath’s Simon Bryan secured Category 6 membership of the Alps Tour for 2021 at the Qualifying School in Rome.
McBride closed with a two-over 74 at Golf Nazionale to finish tied for seventh on three-under par with Bryan tied 22nd on three-over after a 79.
French amateur David Ravetto shot 66 to tie for first with the Netherlands’ Philip Bootsma (67) and American Blaire McKeithen (72) on seven-under, one clear of England’s Jack Trewhitt (72) and Austalia’s Will Heffernan (75).
Rhys Clarke shot 76 to tie for 49th on eight over and secure membership in Category 8.
Delighted to gain my full playing card for the @alpstourgolf for the 2021 season with scores of -3, -1 & +7. Disappointed with the final round and finish T-22nd after being leader after round 1 but my goal was to gain a full card so job done. Winter work ahead. @phillip_tanham pic.twitter.com/KIqclfUA3H
