Scots hope to emulate Ramsay in Africa

Seven Scots heading for South Africa this week as the European Tour kicks off 2010 at the brand new Africa Open.

After a three week lay-off for the festive period, the Race to Dubai returns to our screens with action at the East London Golf Club, Eastern Cape in South Africa – the event’s first appearance on the Tour’s International schedule.

The event is the third of four consecutive tournaments in South Africa which launch the 2010 Race to Dubai, with the Alfred Dunhill Championship and South African Open Championship – won by Scotland’s Richie Ramsay – coming before Christmas and the Joburg Open following this week’s event.

And the seven Scots heading for the Eastern Cape will be hoping to follow in Ramsay's footsteps with victory on African soil.

Those teeing up in South Africa this week include Stephen Gallacher who will be looking for a better 2010 after 2009 saw him struck down with a mystery virus, while Challenge Tour graduate Jamie McLeary who will be looking to get his year off to a firing start. Also in the field are Alan McLean, Peter Whiteford, Steven O’Hara, Andrew McArthur and Callum McAulay.
