PRO NEWS: Garry Houston missed the cut in the Allianz Open of Toulouse on the European Challenge Tour after rounds of 72-71. The Flint professional has earned just 21,447 euros from 18 starts on tour and lies 58th in the rankings.

With just two events remaining in Italy, the Italian Federation Cup in Rome a week on Thursday and the Tour Grand Final at San Dominico the following week, Houston is almost certain to be heading back to Tour School in November to try and regain his card on the main tour.
