Sims missed out on his PGA Nationwide Tour card for next season bowing out at the second stage of Q-School at Lake Jovita Country Club, Florida, last weekend.

The 28-year-old will now challenge defending champion PH Horgan lll who won the event last year. Runners-up Ian Doig and Kirk Hanefeld will also be returning to the 72-hole stroke play individual competition, which starts on Monday.

The Championship is open to invited professionals and amateurs, but amateur players are not entitled to prize money.
