He ended his rookie season ranked 18th on the Order of Merit after four top ten finishes including 4th at the MCB Tour Championship in Madagascar and 3rd place at the Farmfoods European Legends Links Championship.
The Englishman would also finish 3rd at the 2022 WINSTONgolf Senior Open, one of three top ten placings for him in that season.
Gary is the only amateur player ever to win the prized Brabazon & Lytham Trophies in the same year and back-to-back – doing it in 1990 and 1991.
He turned pro after the 1991 Walker Cup having finished 2nd at European Tour Q-school and would play on the Tour for 15 years until he retired in 2006 after surgery on his right shoulder.
His career highlight came at Muirfield in the 2002 Open Championship where he was in contention on the final day, where he holed a 6-foot putt at the final hole to have a chance of winning it. However, he would end the day in 5th place, just one shot away from the four-man play-off.
