Description
In another player interview of Chasing Pars Golf Podcast sponsored by Golf Tips Checker Craig was joined by Scottish veteran & current Asian Tour professional David Drysdale who was phoning in from freezing cold Cockburnspath.  David has spent an overall 21 seasons on European Tour now DP World Tour & has amassed over 575 starts with 4 2nd’s/5 3rd’s & 29 Top 10’s overall with the most notable 2nd coming at Education City for 2020 Qatar Masters where David would miss a 15ft birdie chance on the 72nd hole to win on his 498th European Tour start. What transpired from there in a playoff with Jorge Campillo was nothing short of mind boggling with David playing approaches brilliantly to within Jorge’s ball every time only for Campillo to put on the putting performance of a lifetime to deny Dave his 1st ever Euro Tour title & Campillo winning his 2nd in the process. David has also has 2nd’s at Russian Open in 2006, Andalucia in 2009 and at his favourite course at Leopard Creek for Alfred Dunhill Champs in 2018. David is a 2x Challenge Tour winner having won in France in 2004 at Grand Final & El Prat in 2006 while having a Euro Tour card & in 2009 would play at World Cup for Scotland along with Alistair Forsyth at Mission Hills GC in China. David lost his DP World Tour card at the end of 2022 after 20+ years & decided to take the leap at Asian Tour Q School in Thailand where he would gain a Tour card for 2023 Asian Tour season with 2 Top 10s T3rd in Taiwan & T9th in Hong Kong with a T11th at Macao Open which would help in finishing 47th overall therefore having a full card to play whatever Asian Tour events & International Series events going forward for 2024 where he sets off to Thailand tomorrow for a 2 week practice before the first event in Kuala Lumpur.  An honest and refreshing take into a long Golfing career from David & I hope one day he wins on Tour before he calls it a day. The Legends Tour and Champions Tour Qualifying look a possibility in the next couple of years.  Top man Dave 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
