LLOYD SALTMAN HAS THE GAME TO BE EURO TOUR HIT

Lloyd Saltman has been tipped to make an instant impact on the European Tour due to the fact he has the "big game" required for the long courses on the circuit.
The 25-year-old, who secured his card by finishing in a tie for 11th in last week's Qualifying School in Spain, is wasting no time launching his new career, having headed to Durban along with his older brother, Elliot, for the South African Open starting tomorrow.
Saltman's success in Girona delighted his long-time coach, Colin Brooks, who reckons the former Open Silver Medal winner deserves enormous praise for the patience he showed as it took him longer to earn his step up to the top tier than the likes of Rory McIlroy, Rhys Davies, David Horsey and John Parry, four of his Walker Cup team-mates in 2007.
They've all won on the European Tour and Brooks believes Saltman has all the attributes to make his presence felt on leaderboards, too.
"I'm delighted for Lloyd because he has had to be patient for the past couple of years. We've always known that he had the talent, but, over the past two or three years, he has lost a bit of confidence," said Brooks, who is based at the Braid Hills Golf Centre in Edinburgh.
