DUNCAN STEWART RELISHES EUROPEAN TOUR EXPERIENCE

Stewart finished three over par at the Johnnie Walker Championship in
Gleneagles, missing the cut, which was set at three under.
It may not have been the result that the
Scot had wanted, but featuring on the PGA European Tour for the first time
and the experience he gained from playing on that tour was far greater.
The 29-year-old from Grantown-on-Spey, represented by MB
Partners, got the invitation to play in the tournament on the Monday. In his first
round on Thursday, he picked up three birdies and ended the day with an eagle
on the 18th, to put him at level par 72 on the Centenary Course,
which plays host to next year’s Ryder Cup.
Stewart started his second round on the
back nine, scoring a birdie on the 11th to move him to
one-under-par. He was able to pick up a couple more birdies over the course of
the round, but unfortunately wasn’t able to find any magic in his putter
causing him to slip back down the leaderboard.
“I am disappointed with how I played over
the last couple of days, I just couldn’t seem to putt which was frustrating as
my tee and fairway shots were pretty decent,” said Stewart.
“It was a great
experience to play in the Johnnie Walker Championship and also participate in
my first European Tour and hopefully this won’t be my last. I need to get back
to the driving range and put in some more practice before I play in Ireland
next week.”
The next tournament for Stewart will be
back on the Challenge Tour in the Northern Ireland Championship at Galgorm
Castle Golf Club and Estate in County Antrim from August 29th to
September 1st.
