WOBURN, England (Reuters) - A top golfer who refuses to fly seems about as incongruous as a horse-hating jockey or a skier who dislikes snow but it is a situation that German professional Florian Fritsch is perfectly comfortable with.
Fritsch's fear of jet travel forced him to briefly give up the sport five years ago and he has slowly worked his way through the lower echelons up to the European Tour.
The next two events could represent a turning point, however, as the 29-year-old needs good performances at this week's British Masters at Woburn and at the Portugal Masters that follows to retain his tour card for 2016.
