England's Laurie Canter tells BBC Sport's Iain Carter he feels 'lucky' to be in the mix to win one of 10 lucrative PGA Tour cards at the DP World Tour's season finale in Dubai.
In the wake of Paul Waring’s sensational Abu Dhabi victory, Laurie Canter is eyeing more English glory in the Middle East at this week’s DP World’s Tour Championship.
That in itself is remarkable given that just under a year ago, the 35-year-old Englishman was rueing missing a five-foot putt that brought into question the future of his playing career. Within six months he became a DP World Tour winner for the first time and now he is one good week away from securing a card on the PGA Tour for next year.
When Canter booked that runner-up spot at the end of last year he was ranked a lowly 253 in the world. By the time he won in Hamburg in June he had already done enough to secure his DP World Tour card for next year. Now he lies 25th in the Race to Dubai, just 324 points behind fellow Bath pro Jordan Smith, who in 17th place holds the last of the 10 spots available for PGA Tour cards next year.
