Thorp had a successful amateur career, winning the European Amateur in 2005[1] and claiming the silver medal for lowest amateur in the 2006 Open Championship.[2] He turned professional in 2007 and had immediate success, claiming four wins on mini-tours in Scandinavia. In 2010 Thorp joined the Challenge Tour and found further success at that level, with six top-10s in his debut season. He ended 2010 16th in the standings, which earned him a European Tour card for 2011.

In September 2011 he announced that he was taking a break from golf, saying that his motivation and desire were no longer present.[3]

He hails from Bærum and represented the local golf club Bærum GK.
