Scott Drummond (born 29 May 1974) is a Scottish professional golfer .

Drummond was born in Shrewsbury , England. He played amateur golf for England but decided to represent Scotland, the country of his father, when he turned professional in 1996.

Professional career [ edit ]

In the early years of his career Drummond struggled to win a regular place on the main European Tour , and spent a good deal of his time on the second tier Challenge Tour . In 2004 he claimed a surprise win in the prestigious Volvo PGA Championship , which catapulted him 340 places, from 435th to 95th in the world rankings , [2] and gave him a five-year exemption on the European Tour. [3] He ended the season in 23rd place on the Order of Merit, and was selected as the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year . [4] He had a consistent 2005 season, but since then he has struggled to reproduce that form, finishing well outside the top 100 on the Order of Merit each season.
