BOLTON professional Steve Parry has missed out on a European Tour card.

The 23-year-old from Atherton had targeted a place in the final qualifying round but a poor show on the Costa Brava dashed his hopes.

It was Parry's first attempt at qualifying, but over the four rounds near Gerona, he finished two under, one over, two over and five over.

"I was disappointed at the way it went," admitted Parry, who only turned professional a couple of months ago.

"The swing wasn't right and I didn't play very well."

Parry will fly home in the next few days to sort out his winter programme, which could see him trying to qualify for tours to Asia and South Africa.
