Irish Golfer Becomes First Player With Disability To Play On The European Tour

From Dundalk to the European Tour. Brendan Lawlor, has won many competitions in Ireland at the provincial level, in the juniors when aged 16, and at the adult level when he turned 17. This makes him the youngest person to win that championship at the time. Brendan has a rare condition called Ellis–van Creveld syndrome, characterised by a shorter stature and shorter limbs. However, despite his disability, he expresses with confidence that he is still able to lead a normal, happy and healthy life. Although he is new to playing golf on the EDGA tour, Brendan is not new to competition. He is certainly one to watch as he shares his aspirations to compete and win more tournaments in the near future.
