Aaron Rai dream comes true with victory
Wolverhampton golfer Aaron Rai capped an incredible six months with a third European Challenge Tour victory of the season at Le Vaudreuil Golf Challenge, securing himself European Tour status.
Rai, from Perton, was ruthless on the final day at Golf PGA France du Vaudreuil, recovering from a rare early blemish on the second hole to open up a two-shot advantage at the turn before he pulled emphatically away from the field on the back nine.
Three victories in a season have earned Rai immediate promotion to the European Tour but, having now regained the lead in the Road to Oman Rankings, he will likely split his time between both tours for the remainder of the year.
“It’s certainly the accomplishment of a life goal, earning a European Tour card,” said the 22-year-old. “I
certainly couldn’t have dreamed it going better at the start of the year, and it’s quite hard to put it into words. It’s the accomplishment of a life goal – it’s been an amazing season so far, I couldn’t have dreamed it.”
