The Corhampton ace has opted to try his luck in the paid ranks following an incredible career as an amateur.

Among his many successes, the 22-year-old England international won the 2016 British Amateur Championship at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club, beating Robert MacIntyre 2&1 in the final.

That allowed him to compete at the 2016 Open Championship, as well as this year’s Masters and US Open.

Gregory was also part of the GB & Ireland that lost to the USA in the Walker Cup in Los Angeles earlier this month.

Announcing his decision to turn pro on Twitter, he said: ‘It is with great pleasure I announce that I am turning professional today.

‘Thank you for all the support I have received and I can’t wait to share the next part of this journey! My debut is the Spanish Challenge.’

Gregory will compete in Spain, as part of the Challenge Tour, from September 28-1 October.
