MICHAEL Jonzon heads a strong field when the European PGA Challenge Tour comes to Oxfordshire this week.

The Swede – a two-time winner on the full European Tour – is playing in the four-day Bridgestone Challenge at the Heythrop Park Resort, near Chipping Norton, starting on Thursday.

It is a feather in the cap for the course as it is the first time since 2012 the Tour has been played in Britain.

The Challenge Tour is a feeder for the full European Tour and has been used as a stepping stone for the likes of Justin Rose and Martin Kaymer.

l OXFORD City maintained their unbeaten record in Section 1 of the Shaw Gibbs Oxfordshire Foursomes League when they drew 1½-1½ at home to The Oxfordshire.

The two points City gained from the result put them top of the table, halfway through the league programme.
