English player Penge suspended for gambling on golf

The world No.414 Penge was given a three-month ban that took effect on December 13, although one month has been suspended for a year pending further breaches of the tour's integrity program. Penge was also fined Stg 2,000 ($A4,000).

The tour said Penge's penalties were mitigated due to his immediate admission of breach and co-operation throughout the investigation.

Penge, who most recently played at the Australian Open in November when he finished in a share of 27th place, can return to the tour from February 13.
