Brendan Lawlor will have no fear making his European Tour debut at The Belfry today and the Carton House golfer is just as comfortable leading the charge for disabled golfers.

Lawlor, 22 and number four in the World Rankings for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD), will make history today when he becomes the first disabled golfer to play in a European Tour event. The Louth man, is set to tee off at 9:15am in the inaugural ISPS HANDA UK Championship, the final event of the UK Swing, thanks to an invitation from the tournament sponsors, for whom he is an ambassador.
