Romain Langasque (born 18 May 1995) is a French professional golfer. He won The Amateur Championship in 2015 and in 2018 has biggest professional success in the Hopps Open de Provence.

Amateur career

Langasque won The Amateur Championship in 2015 at Carnoustie Golf Links, beating Grant Forrest 4&2 in the final.[1]

His Amateur Championship win gave an entry to the 2015 Open Championship where he made the cut and finished tied for 65th place.[2] He also got an entry to the 2016 Masters Tournament where he was one of two amateurs to make the cut and finished tied for 39th place.

Professional career

Langasque turned professional after the 2016 Masters Tournament, thus forfeiting his exemption into the 2016 U.S. Open.[3]

Langasque played on the Challenge Tour in 2016, where he was runner-up in the Barclays Kenya Open, the D+D Real Slovakia Challenge and the Vierumäki Finnish Challenge. He finished ninth in the Road to Oman, the order of merit, to gain entry to the European Tour for 2017.[4]

Langasque started the 2017 European Tour season by finishing tied for 10th place in the Australian PGA Championship. This was his only top-10 finish of the season and he finished 151st in the Race to Dubai, losing his European Tour place.

A few weeks later, he finished tied third at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, where he had been invited; he then missed the cut in 5 of the 6 other European Tour events he was able to play, the last of them being the HNA Open de France in July. Back on the Challenge Tour, he had a difficult start, earning less than €6,000 until mid-July. From Le Vaudreuil Golf Challenge, he started playing more solidly, making eight cuts in a row, including a tied fifth place at the Kazakhstan Open on 15 September and his first professional victory a week later at the Hopps Open de Provence, which enabled him to near the 15th place in the Road to Ras Al Khaimah rankings.
