Zane Scotland

Residence: Wallington, England

DOB: 17/07/1982

Zane Scotland first picked up a golf club at the age of 10, and soon was playing off single figures. He was brought up in Wallington, England, and was the second youngest golfer ever to qualify for the British open when he did so in 1999 at the age of 16. Zane made his professional European Tour debut in 2003, and was soon labelled as the ‘new Tiger’ until a car crash left him with neck problems that endangered his career. However he recovered well, and between 2005 and 2006, he made eight out of nine cuts on the Challenger Tour. He played seven events in 2007 which allowed him to once again become a member of the European Tour. The same year he qualified for the French Open, where he finished within the top-12, and managed to continue his streak into the Deutsche Bank Player’s Championship again finishing inside the top-12. Zane has struggled for form in 2009. His best finish came when he tied for 27 at the Ballentine’s Championship - the only cut he has made so far on the European Tour this season.
