Rising Australian golfer Haydn Barron has enjoyed another breakthrough near the end of a year when he played his first major, earning his European tour card at its uber-competitive qualifying school in Spain.
Perth's Barron was one of nine Aussies who had battled through to the final third-stage, six-round stage of the school in Tarragona, Spain, but he was the only one among 156 players from around the globe to earn one of the precious - and potentially lucrative - cards the DP World Tour ended up handing out to the top 33.
