Scots 'Famous Five' looking for confidence

boost in Challenge Tour's Austria stop

By MICHAEL GIBBONS, Challenge Tour Press Officer
Scotland’s five Challenge Tour representatives this week will attempt to shoot down Austria’s greatest ever player, Markus Brier.
Former Scottish boys and Scottish amateur stroke-play champion Scott Henry, Dalmahoy’s Jamie McLeary, Carnoustie’s Eric Ramsay as well as Saltman brothers Elliott and Lloyd will all be competing against Brier, a former Challenge Tour player himself who has since won The Austrian Open and the Volvo China Open on The European Tour, making him Austria’s most successful golfer.
As the tournament title suggests, Brier is lending his support to the Kärnten Golf Open presented by Markus Brier Foundation to promote his Foundation and give young Austrian players an opportunity to enhance their careers on the Challenge Tour.
The Scots in the field this week will be looking to outshine Brier and gather some form and momentum as the Challenge Tour season moves into full swing, with ‘home’ events in Ireland, Scotland and Wales taking place in the next seven weeks.
