Your support makes all the difference.Paul Broadhurst is back on the European Tour after pulling out a brilliant closing 66 at the qualifying school at Emporda yesterday.
Broadhurst called it the finest round of golf he has ever played under pressure, adding: "It was either a good score today or the Challenge Tour next year. As a family man I can't really afford to do that."
Broadhurst, who missed out by eight shots a year ago on his first visit to the school for 13 years, was only joint-65th after four of the six rounds. He then moved up to 36th with a 67, but only the top 35 and ties earn cards and he felt there was much more riding on the final day than when he beat Mark O'Meara in the Ryder Cup at Kiawah Island in 1991. "That does not even come close to this," he admitted after climbing to 21st place with a 15-under-par 413. He finished four shots inside the cut-off mark.
Per Nyman won at 28 under, one ahead of Warrington's Philip Archer, with Phil Golding third on 26 under.
