LLOYD SALTMAN TO MAKE PRO DEBUT IN BRITISH
MASTERS FROM SEPTEMBER 20 to 23

Lloyd Saltman will turn professional immediately after the Walker Cup match at Royal County Down on September 8 and 9.
He intends making his debut as a pro in the British Masters at The Belfry from September 20 to 23. The Craigielaw 21-year-old played in the event last year as an amateur and would have collected £5,000 for making the cut and finishing on 293 had he been a professsional then.
Saltman and possibly Richie Ramsay - another 99.99% certain to be named in the GB&I team to play the United States - will miss the men's home internationals (September 19 to 21).
Ramsay has not yet made up his mind if he will defend the US amateur title this summer. He says he wants to get back into the swing of things on this side of the Atlantic, having missed weeks of tournament play because of accepting invitations to play in US Tour evens.
The Aberdonian is focused on gaining a second Walker Cup honour so there is no truth in the rumours that he might turn professional after competing in the Open at Carnoustie in July.
