FULKE (36) RETIRES FROM EUROPEAN TOUR

Former Ryder Cup player, Pierre Fulke from Sweden, has hung up his clubs after 18 years as a tournament player during which he played in the winning team in the 2002 Ryder Cup after winning the Scottish PGA championship and the Volvo Masters in 2000. His first big win was the Lancome Trophy in 1999.
Fulke, who is 36, said: "I'm not tired of golf, but I'm tired of the tour and all the travel. It feels good to sleep in my own bed. Now it's time to explore other areas in golf. I'm involved in several new projects in Sweden as a course designer."
He had not played on the European Tour since last April due to an injury.
