Callum Shinkwin

Shinkwin was a successful amateur golfer. In 2010 he won the Carris Trophy, the English Boys' under-18 open amateur stroke play championship, at Woodhall Spa. In 2013 he won the English Amateur, beating Matthew Fitzpatrick 4&3 in the final at Frilford Heath Golf Club, leading to his selection for the Walker Cup team the same year.[1]

Shinkwin turned professional in November 2013 and played on the 2014 Challenge Tour, coming second in the Challenge de Catalunya and finishing 34th in the Challenge Tour Road to Oman. He played on the Challenge Tour again in 2015. A good finish to season, with a third place in the season-ending NBO Golf Classic Grand Final, lifted him to 13th in the Road to Oman rankings and gave him his European Tour card for 2016.

He earned his biggest prize to date by finishing tied for 19th in the Irish Open in May 2016 and then bettered that by finishing tied for 9th in the Open de France, after a final-round 68. The following week he finished tied for 8th in the Scottish Open after a last-round 65, coming back in 30. His performance in the Open de France gave him entry to the 2016 Open Championship, his first major championship, where he missed the cut.

Although he finished tied for 23rd in his first appearance of 2017, he then failed to make the cut in his next nine tournaments. He showed a return to form in the same events where he had some success in 2016, making the cut in the Open de France before a disappointing last round 81 and followed this with a tie for 30th place in Irish Open. The following week, in the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open, Shinkwin had a one-stroke lead playing the final hole but took a bogey 6 and lost to Rafael Cabrera-Bello at the first playoff hole. The result gave him an entry into the Open Championship for the second successive year.
