Archer was born in Warrington. He is best known for shooting a score of 60 in the first round at the Celtic Manor Wales Open in 2006. He had a chance of being the first player on the European Tour to shoot a 59, but missed his birdie putt on the 18th green.[2] His best European Tour Order of Merit finish is 29th in 2007. He lost his card after a poor 2010 season. He has won three tournaments on the Challenge Tour, Europe's second tier tour. He won the Rolex Trophy in 2004, the Allianz Open Côtes d'Armor Bretagne in 2011 and the Pacific Rubiales Colombia Classic in 2012.
