Early life and career

[1] [2] He ended that season in 14th place on the Challenge Tour Rankings to earn his card on the top level European Tour for 2010. [3] During his rookie season he won the Vivendi Cup to secure a one-year exemption on the tour. [4] Parry was unable to follow up his win and in 2021, he was playing on the third-tier PGA EuroPro Tour. He won the Cumberwell Park Championship in June 2021 [5] and finished fifth on the Order of Merit, [6] securing status to play on the 2022 Challenge Tour. [7]
