Warren makes 4000-mile journey to take up Indian Open invitation
Marc Warren has travelled more than 4000 miles to be part of four-pronged Scottish title challenge in this week’s Hero Indian Open.
The Glaswegian made the long journey to join David Law, Stephen Gallacher and Richie Ramsay after securing an invitation for the event at the Gary Player-designed DLF Golf & Country Club in New Delhi.
Warren, a three-time European Tour winner, lost his card at the end of last season before securing a lower-ranked category at the Qualifying School.
He got his 2019 campaign off to a promising start with a brace of top-30 finishes in South Africa in December before also making the cut after qualifying for the Dubai Desert Classic.
But, after missed cuts in both Oman and Qatar, he will be hoping to use this opportunity to start picking up Race to Dubai points again.
Gallacher finished joint seventh behind Matt Wallace at the same venue last year and will be aiming to recapture that form as he bids to end a run of four missed cuts. l Stirling’s Chloe Goadby, winner of the stroke-play title on Tuesday, is on course for a Scottish Students Championship double after progressing to the last four in the matchplay event along with Mirren Fraser, Emily Laws and Nicola Slater. l Paul Lawrie carded a threeunder-par 67 at Mcdonald Golf Club to top the leaderboard along with Cruden Bay amateur Chris Gilbertin the final event of the North East Alliance season. l Jamie Mcleary and Daniel Young shared top spot in the final event of the Big Johnsons Tour Winter Series with matching level-par 68s at Longniddry.
