Thorp had a successful amateur career, winning the European Amateur in 2005 [1] and claiming the silver medal for lowest amateur in the 2006 Open Championship. [2] He turned professional in 2007 and had immediate success, claiming four wins on mini-tours in Scandinavia. In 2010 Thorp joined the Challenge Tour and found further success at that level, with six top-10s in his debut season. He ended 2010 16th in the standings, which earned him a European Tour card for 2011.
