NEWS RELEASE FROM ISM
Scottish starlet Jack McDonald has joined International Sports Management and will turn professional next week.
The
23-year-old’s stellar amateur career culminated with him winning
two-and-a-half points from a possible three in Great Britain and
Ireland’s Walker Cup win over the United States last year.
He will make his professional debut at the final stage of EuroPro Qualifying School at Frilford Heath, starting on April 6.
Jack hopes to split his time between the EuroPro Tour, MENA Tour and Challenge Tour in the year ahead.
He
is also excited to be the latest promising youngster to join ISM, which
has nurtured the careers of Louis Oosthuizen, Darren Clarke, Lee
Westwood, Danny Willett, Matt Fitzpatrick and Ben An.
Jack
said: “I’ve done a lot in the amateur game now. I think I’m ready to
make the transition and that my game is there so I’m looking to just
keep improving.
“There
are plenty of great names that have thrived at ISM and the opportunity
is there. You can’t ask for any more than that and I’ll definitely
benefit from working with Chubby and the team.”
The
Kilmarnock Barassie Golf Club member also joins fellow countryman Scott
Jamieson and former Walker Cup team-mate Gavin Moynihan as part of ISM’s
stable.
As
well as a host of individual titles, Jack helped Scotland win the
European Nations Cup and Europe take the Palmer Cup in 2014.
After
his role in Scotland’s European Men’s Team Championship victory last
year, he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather Gordon Cosh by
playing in the Walker Cup success at Royal Lytham and St Annes in
September.
ISM
Chief Executive Officer Chubby Chandler said: “I saw Jack playing at
the St Andrews Links Trophy and have been following his progress.
“He’s got a lot of potential and I’m confident we can help him achieve his dreams in golf.”
