Wiki

Gary Murphy (born 15 October 1972) is an Irish professional golfer.

Murphy was born in Kilkenny and began playing golf aged 11, after caddying for his father Jim who has played an instrumental role in the development of young golfers. He won the Irish Amateur Closed Championship in 1992. He turned professional in 1995. He won the Asian Tour qualifying school in 1997, and played two seasons on that tour in addition to competing on the second tier European Challenge Tour before returning to Europe full time after winning a European Tour card at the 1999 final qualifying school.

Murphy was unable to secure his place on the European Tour in his rookie season and dropped back down to the Challenge Tour in 2001 and 2002. He regained his European Tour card at the end of 2002 at final qualifying school. Since then he has been able to win enough money each season to retain his playing status through his position on the Order of Merit.
