|McDowell's instant success|
My mate Darren
Graeme has started his career as a stable mate of fellow Northern Ireland man Darren Clarke.
Clarke is already well established as one of the biggest names on the preofessional circuit and he has been on hand to assist Graeme in his development.
"I have hooked up with the ISM Management Company of which Darren is one of their players," said Graeme.
"It has been very important for me, Darren has been a great advisor for me over the last couple of years and pointed me in all the right directions.
"Management companies are very important, at this stage of my career I am living off sponsor invitations.
"It is people like Darren that can help me get into tournaments and get my foot in the door.
"I was very fortunate to win off one of my invitations which makes it even more rewarding."
