While David Lynn is become eligible to compete full time on the PGA Tour he’s questioned the steady drain of talent from Europe to the States at the expense of the European Tour.

Lynn’s second place result in the recent PGA Championship has seen him exempt for PGA Tour membership.

It was just the 38-year old Lynn’s second appearance in a Major Championship and with his $US 868,000 prize cheque easily the biggest of his career.

Lynn’s result opened doors around the world including a start in next April’s U.S. Masters, and should he retain his current top-50 World Ranking, the 2004 KLM Open winnner will contest all four Majors next year.

Another door open to Lynn was the chance to play full time on the world’s most lucrative Tour.

However while Lynn revealed he has just purchased 14 flats as an investment he is critical of those Europeans who believe it is a right to compete on the PGA Tour if and when they qualify.

“The U.S. Tour is something that’s not really interested me over the years, or else I would have tried, gone and qualified,” said Lynn.

“I still want to enjoy myself playing in Europe, and the camaraderie that we have out here.

“It’s not good for the Tour if guys all keep playing in America all the time.  There’s going to come a point if guys have that attitude all the time, like I’ve got the right to go and play over there, it seriously doesn’t do a lot of good for the European Tour in the furture.

“So I’ve not made that decision of yet but when I’ve got everything down on paper, but as my head stands at the moment, the likelihood is that I won’t.

“That’s my initial gut reaction.”
