Edit ProfileCareer
Saltman competed for Great Britain and Ireland in two Walker Cup matches, the first in 2005 and again in 2007. Shortly after his second appearance, he turned professional and attempted to qualify for the European Tour. However he failed to progress to the final stage of the qualifying school and, with limited guaranteed playing opportunities in Europe, decided to try for his card on the Asian Tour.
He finished 31st at the Asian Tour School at the end of 2007, to gain a place on the tour.
However, because of the reputation he built up as an amateur, Saltman received invitations to many European Tour and Challenge Tour events during 2008, and played in just two tournaments on the Asian Tour, finishing in 17th place on his début in the SAIL Open. At the end of 2008, Saltman returned to the European Tour"s qualifying school, and although he reached the final stage after coming through a seven man playoff, he missed out on winning a European Tour card meaning he would have another season on the Challenge Tour in 2009.
After two years on the European Challenge Tour Saltman gained a full European Tour Card in December 2010 by finishing 11th in the Stage 3 of European Tour Qualifying School. 2003 Scottish Boys Strokeplay Championship Los Angeles = Low amateur DNP = Did not play CUT = missed the half-way cut "T" = tied Yellow background for top-10.
