Philip Golding will be lining up with the top names of world golf, including Colin Montgomerie and Darren Clarke on the main European tour next season.

Golding, the tournament professional at South Herts Golf Club, finished third among the top 15 qualifiers from the European Challenge circuit to earn his place on the major circuit.

He clinched his card with an strong performance in the Bordeaux Grand Challenge Tour final at the weekend, when a 50ft putt on the last green gave him second spot with a 13-under-par 271.
