Dubai-based Garrick Porteous will play this week on the DP World Tour / LET Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed event in a busy week of golf with action in Texas, Ohio and Spain.
Porteous qualified courtesy of a top-10 finish in the European Open in Hamburg last week where he shot rounds of 69, 69, 77 and 70 to finish six shots back of fellow Englishman Laurie Canter.
Rafa Cabrera Bello, who also plays out of Dubai, qualified following his seventh-place finish in Hamburg.
The Scandinavian Mixed is an event in which both male and female golfers compete.
