Lewis Tees Off at Austrian Open


Tom Lewis will take his first step toward earning a European Tour card for next year when he makes his professional debut at the Austrian Open on Thursday.

The 20-year-old Lewis announced last week that he's turning pro, after raising eyebrows by holding a share of the lead after the first round of this year's British Open.

Lewis has been invited to six more events as he tries to secure a tour card for next season.

Lewis said "I am going to play as good as possible ... but it's a difficult ask to get my card through that."

Lewis recorded the lowest round ever by an amateur at the British Open when he shot a 65 to share the first-round lead.
