Sam Horsfield (born 8 October 1996) is an English professional golfer who plays on the European Tour.
Amateur career
Horsfield has lived in the United States since he was five years old. He was selected for the 2015 Walker Cup at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club but withdrew two weeks before the event.[1] It was later reported that he thought he may not have had the correct visa and was worried he would not be allowed to return to the United States after the event.[2] He was runner-up at the 2016 Western Amateur.[3] Horsfield turned professional in May 2017.
Professional career
Horsfield was the medalist at the 2017 European Tour Qualifying School to earn a place on the European Tour for 2018.[4] He had a useful start to 2018, with a 4th place in the ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth and finishing second at the Tshwane Open, two strokes behind George Coetzee.[5]
