Gary Orr: European Tour
built 176 days ago
Members are proud of the achievements of Gary Orr, who turned pro in 1988, as an assistant at Burhill in Surrey. He obtained his European Tour card in 1992, after failing in 1990 and 1991. Rookie of the Year in 1993, Gary struggled to fulfil that rich early promise until 1998 and 1999, when his name featured strongly on several leader boards. In 1998 Gary qualified for the Scottish Dunhill Cup Team and tied 2nd in the Volvo PGA at Wentworth behind Colin Montgomery. 1999 proved to be a very consistent season and he again qualified for the Dunhill Cup Team. He was just beaten into 2nd place in the Dutch Open by Lee Westwood who shot 63 in the last round.

It looks like a golf ball but soars through the crisp, clean air of Loch Lomond with the aerodynamics of a house brick, judging by the pained expression on Gary Orr's face. "I'll never reach the green from here," says the former European Tour rookie of the year. Indeed he will not. Not on a 443-yard hole, not into the wind and not even with a brilliantly struck three-wood. A lay-up on a par-four. Oh, the indignity of it all.

Orr lost his card in 2005 but regained it in some style last year after going back to basics. Having re-established himself on The European Tour, Orr is once again challenging for top honours.
