Tom Lewis

In 2009, Lewis won the Boys Amateur Championship at Royal St George's. In 2010, he lost to Peter O'Malley in a playoff for the New South Wales Open and then tied for 12th place at the Australian Open. This was followed by a victory on the Old Course at St Andrews in the 2011 St Andrews Links Trophy.
Lewis qualified for the 2011 Open Championship at Royal St George's via Local Final Qualifying at Rye. In the first round, he shot a five-under-par 65, giving him a share of the lead. This was the lowest single-round score by an amateur in Open Championship history and equaled the lowest in any major championship. It made him the first amateur to lead a major after a round since Mike Reid in the 1976 U.S. Open and the first amateur to lead the Open Championship since Michael Bonallack in 1968. One of Lewis's first-round partners was Tom Watson, for whom he was named, as Watson was his father's hero. Lewis finished T-30th and as the low amateur, he won the Silver Medal.
Lewis turned professional after the 2011 Walker Cup. He made his professional debut at the Austrian Golf Open in September 2011, shooting a two-over-par 74 in the first round. He recovered to finish in a T-10th.
His first European Tour win came at the Portugal Masters in October 2011, shooting rounds of 70, 64, 68, and 65 to finish two shots clear of the field. It was his third professional start. In December 2011 he was crowned the European Tour's Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year.
