Sam Little pocketed around £1,700 in prize money as he stepped up his bid to win back his European Tour Card.

Little carded eight under par to finish in 29th place at the Scottish Hydro Challenge.

The Rickmansworth professional posted scores of 66, 72, 70 and 68 during his four rounds on the Challenge Tour.

Little, who is back at Qualifying School, is hoping to battle his way back to the summit of the European game.
