Hydro deal sees Craig Lee off to Colombia
The 33-year-old from Stirling was one of five Scots chosen to receive financial aid during the new season as part of a concerted effort to get more home-grown players on to the main circuit.
Lee will compete in tomorrow's Abierto International in La Macarena after cruising to a 12-shot win in the Scottsdale Classic in Phoenix last week, and the former Tartan Tour No 1 is eager to continue that form.

"But the support means I don't have to worry about the money and I can take this opportunity. The Scottsdale win was a nice boost and hopefully I can take that form with me and hit the ground running on the Challenge Tour."
