Jonathan Thomson
Jonathan Thomson, also known as ‘Jigger’, will be making his return to the Challenge Tour after competing on the European Tour at the Cazoo Classic last week.

The 25-year-old will be looking to use his experience on the European Tour in order to have a positive outcome at the Sydbank Esbjerg Challenge this week.
