'It's made me hungry for more' - Ryan Lumsden on encouraging DP World Tour display

Ryan Lumsden is 'hungry for more' after feeling he showed he is good enough to compete on the DP World Tour, insisting that he wasn't going to let one sore hole take the gloss off his performance in the Nexo Championship. The London-born Scot was in with a chance of recording a top-ten finish in the $2.75 million event at Trump International Golf Links until he ran up a triple-bogey 7 at the 14th in the final round. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad That left him having to settle for a share of 19th spot alongside Marc Warren, who closed with a best-of-the-day 67, after signing off with a 75 to finish on two over par. Getty Images 'I had fun for 71 holes,' said Lumsden, who was playing in just his tenth event on the main tour. 'Just such a privilege to be able to play on the main tour in Scotland on a course this good in Scottish conditions. You really can't ask for anything more. 'I put myself in position. I didn't play my best today but I am proud of how I have fought. Obviously it is a little gutting to have one bad shot followed up probably by a bad decision as that cost me three shots. 'There is a big difference in the outcome if I could have managed that a little bit better. But, in terms of the experience and the opportunity, I felt like I belonged here. I felt like I had a chance to finish well if I had played today. But to not have my stuff and still finish where I did, I am very pleased and just enjoyed being here.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Lumsden had birdied the 14th on the previous three days before it took its revenge on him. 'I hit a really poor tee shot,' he admitted. 'I did not commit to my feel and just kind of swiped one left. I actually got very fortunate in a way as I got a good lie in the rough and thought I could get it to the front right of the green. 'The club just caught this little branch behind the ball and shut the face down. It popped out probably 15 yards short of the green in the thick rough but the guys never heard it and I lost a ball. It is what it is. Golf is a brutal, tough game. It could have been better, but those 71 other holes were pretty solid.' The 28-year-old will now turn his attention back to the HotelPlanner Tour, where he sits 29th in the Road to Mallorca Rankings and needs to climb into the top 20 to secure a DP World Tour card for next season. 'I'm off to Finland tomorrow morning,' he said. 'This is maybe going to boost me up a spot or two and the goal now is to really refocus and go and get a couple of wins on the board and take care of the card as this is where I want to be and I think I am good enough to be out here. And getting a taste of it has really sort of made me hungry for more.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Scottish Challenge winner Daniel Young (76) finished on four over, one ahead of both Aberdonian David Law (72) and Martin Laird (74). In his first DP World Tour appearance since 2018, Laird was disappointed that his closing card contained four 6s. 'I've had a fun week overall. But, right now, I am not in reflection mode,' admitted the four-time PGA Tour winner. 'It's great to be back playing links golf but it's been a frustrating week. I played a lot better than I scored. I putted terribly all week.

Ryan Lumsden is determined to be part of what is shaping up to be a best Scottish performance on the HotelPlanner Tour since Bob MacIntyre was among four graduates at the end of the 2018 season. After recent wins, David Law and Daniel Young have effectively secured their step up from the second-tier circuit to the DP World Tour next season, with Euan Walker also in a card-winning position in the battle to be in the top 20 on the Road to Mallorca Rankings. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Sitting 31st, Lumsden is also in with a shout of securing a seat at the top table next season but, instead of teeing up in the Irish Challenge at Killeen Castle this week, he's in action in the DP World Tour's Nexo Championship at Trump International Golf Links near Aberdeen. Ryan Lumsden, pictured playing in last week's Farmfoods Scottish Challenge supported by The R&A, is off to a promising start in the Nexo Championship at Trump International Golf Links |'I wasn't expecting it all, to be honest,' admitted the London-born player who proudly flies the Saltire through Edinburgh grandparents. 'I'd really committed to getting off the HotelPlanner Tour this year and I have been doing okay on it. A couple of good weeks and I'll have a chance to get my DP World Tour card. 'So I wasn't even thinking about playing here. I'd booked everything for Ireland then last Tuesday I was driving down to play in the Scottish Challenge when I got the text inviting me to play here. 'I had a quick chat with my coaches as I really wanted to play, but I had to decide if it was the correct decision to change plans at the last minute. I've played well in Ireland the last few years. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'But, at the end of the day, you only get so many chances to play in your home event on a golf course this good on the DP World Tour. So it was something I couldn't really pass up on and everyone was telling me 'go for it, go have fun and see what you can do'.' He fared pretty well in the opening round, signing for a one-under-par 71, which included a burst of three straight birdies on his back nine, to sit alongside in-form Young and Grant Forrest as well. 'For sure,' he replied to being asked if he felt pleased to break par. 'I mean, it's brutal out there. The thing with this course is that it feels like every single hole can get you. And then you chuck in 20mph winds gusting to 30mph today, so tricky. 'So, yeah, it is nice to get off to a solid-ish start. I think it was a little bit of a colourful scorecard - a couple of birdies and a couple of bogeys. What I find is that the key is to stay aggressive. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'It's easy to get a bit passive out there and avoid the mistake, just because that's the nature of this golf course. Mistakes are going to punish you massively, but, for me, it is going to be about trying to stay aggressive and keep hitting as good a golf shot as I can.' This is only Lumsden's ninth DP World Tour appearance and his first since 2022. 'It's just so special to be playing back in Scotland and it is really special to have a chance on the main tour,' he said, hoping to have a full schedule of them next season and reckoning that the Scots are feeding off each other this season on the HotelPlanner Tour. 'We are all very close,' he said of the Caledonian contingent. 'I've been paired with Dave Law in two of the last three tournaments while I spend a lot of time with Euan (Walker) and Danny (Young). We'll play cards together in the afternoon, which is nice, and they are all such friendly guys. I think that does bring everyone up when you see your best buds on tour doing well. 'Danny has won after finishing second and third, I came second to Dave a couple of weeks ago while Euan has been playing some great golf. Yeah, everyone uses each other as role models and that pushes you on. It's nice when you've got that tight-knit group of guys.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Daniel Young joined David Law as a winner on the HotelPlanner Tour this year when he landed the Farmfoods Scottish Challenge suported by The R&A last weekend |Young is a perfect example of how it takes time for a player to find their feet on the feeder circuit, having made it to the Grand Final for the first time last year and now playing some incredible golf. 'The level down there is really, really, really high,' said Lumsden, who saw his game blossom at Northwestern University under the watchful eye of fellow Scot David Inglus. 'The courses we play are a little easier, for sure. So they are a little more scoreable. But, if you go and shoot ten or 12 under - as I have done a couple of times this year - you don't really make much headway. 'You need to be pushing to 16 under or 20 under. When we played in Germany, we all thought it was a relatively tough course - long, tight and slopey greens. But someone shot 24 under par. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'The level is very good and I think that's why you've seen a lot of guys come up from the HotelPlanner Tour over the last few years and having massive success.

Laying down the Law: English golfer's comeback fuels DP World Tour ambitions
As the Road to Mallorca heats up, Englishman David Law has made a compelling case for his return to golf's top flight. Law, who lost his DP World Tour playing rights last season, surged six spots to third in the Road to Mallorca Rankings after clinching a pivotal victory on the Challenge Tour. With the latter half of the season approaching, his eyes are firmly set on reclaiming his spot among Europe's elite. 'I am really determined to get my DP World Tour card back,' said Law after the win. 'This has given me huge confidence. One of my goals was to be in contention more and I've managed to do that.' For Law, the competition may be intense, but the fundamentals remain unchanged. 'The standard is incredibly high out here, but the feeling of being in contention doesn't change whether you're on the DP World Tour or the HotelPlanner Tour,' he explained. 'I want to keep putting myself in uncomfortable situations. That's how you grow.' While Law took the trophy, the tournament leaderboard was tightly packed. Compatriot Ryan Lumsden, Denmark's Victor Sidal Svendsen, Austria's Maximilian Steinlechner, and England's Jack Floydd finished just two strokes behind at 20-under-par. Steinlechner's final-round 63 propelled him to the top of the Road to Mallorca standings, overtaking Italy's Renato Paratore. South African Daniel van Tonder now sits in fourth place, just ahead of England's rising star Joshua Berry. Middle East Implications With the DP World Tour headquartered in Dubai, the Road to Mallorca has added resonance for UAE golf fans. Law's comeback story underscores how the Tour serves as a global proving ground for talent, from Scotland to South Africa and beyond. The surge of international players aiming for DP World Tour status echoes the growing appetite for competitive golf across the Middle East, where events like the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship showcase elite competition on a global stage.
