Abraham Ancer (born 27 February 1991) is a Mexican professional golfer.

Amateur career

Ancer was born in McAllen, Texas, raised in Reynosa, Mexico, and has dual American and Mexican citizenship.[1] He played college golf at Odessa College and the University of Oklahoma, from which he graduated in 2013.[2]

During his one year at Odessa, Ancer was a first-team All-American and finished in a tie for second in the Junior College National Golf Championship. At Oklahoma, he saw his most success during his first year, winning twice while having the sixth-lowest scoring average in Oklahoma history of 72.03. During his entire career, he ended up second in all-time scoring average and ended up with the third-most birdies (352) in school history.[2]

Professional career

Ancer turned professional in 2013. In December 2014, he tied for 35th place at the Web.com Tour Qualifying School final stage.[3] He played on the Web.com Tour in 2015, where he finished runner-up at the Brasil Champions in March and won the Nova Scotia Open in July.[4]

He finished 11th in the regular season money list, which earned him a PGA Tour card for the 2016 season. In his rookie year, Ancer couldn't maintain his card for the 2017 season, demoting him back to the Web.com Tour.[1] During the 2017 season at the Web.com Tour, five top-5 finishes, including three runner-up finishes, allowed Ancer to secure his PGA Tour card for the 2018 season by finishing in third place on the regular season money list.[1]
