Chris Doak remains upbeat about

his prospects in new season

FROM THE PGA E-BULLETIN
Chris Doak's rookie season on the European Tour last year may not have gone to plan but the Greenock PGA pro is
determined to regain his place at the top table.
The 32-year-old earned a card for the main circuit at the qualifying school in 2008 to set the seal on a glory-laden campaign which also saw him top the Tartan Tour's Order of Merit and win the PGA Play-offs.
Doak illuminated his debut season amid the elite with a share of 11th in the Andalucian Open and a tie for 19th in the Johnnie Walker championship at Gleneagles but he lost his playing rights at the end of year having
finished 168th on the money list.
The Scot is remaining upbeat, however, and with his 2010 schedule set to take in events on both the Challenge Tour and the domestic circuit, the two-time Northern Open champion is feeling positive ahead of the new season.
"There are not many players from qualifying school who keep their cards but I expected to
do it," said Doak. "That didn't happen but playing on the European Tour was a great
experience and a learning year."
