Major result for golf pro Ryan Evans
»»GLAZERITE SPONSORED GOLF PRO,
Ryan Evans, has celebrated his first major
by finishing 58th overall at the recent Open
Championship at Royal Troon.
It’s a fantastic result for the 29-year old
Northamptonshire player, who had no
previous experience of playing on the famous
Ayrshire links venue, and who only turned
pro in 2014 after giving up his previous
job of working in a call centre selling Avon
Cosmetics.
Glazerite has been a main sponsor of Ryan,
who made his professional debut at the 2014
Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, for the
last couple of years, helping him rise from the
amateur ranks to his current world ranking of
538.
John Hewitt, Group Chairman at The
Glazerite UK Group Limited, said: “I first got
to know Ryan at Wellingborough Golf Club
when he was making a name for himself as an
amateur, so it’s been fantastic to watch him
progress to his first major at Royal Troon –
especially as he’s an ambassador for Glazerite.
“We’re extremely proud to sponsor Ryan,
he’s hugely passionate and focused, and these
are attributes that are a perfect fit to our
business ethos.”
