Haraldur Magnus

Magnus will be the first Icelandic man to compete in a Major championship. This will also be his first start in a European Tour event.
Iceland's arrival at golf's original championship shouldn't come as a surprise, however, with several of the country's top women's players already having appeared at major. Olafia Kristinsdottir who became the first from her country to secure her playing rights on the LPGA Tour in 2017 and the Ladies European Tour Valdis Thora Jonsdottir have been inspiring a generation at home. Women represent a third of all golfers in Iceland, which has risen from 10% in the past 15 to 20 years.
Full name is Haraldur Franklin Magnus, his Father Kristjan is an actor and mother Sigridur has had a radio show. He played his freshman season at Mississippi State and transferred to LSU were majored in Economics.
He was Iceland National champion in 2012 and three times a runner-up on Nordic Golf League in 2017 (Stora Hotellet Bryggan Fjallbacks Open, Star for Life PGA Championship & Tinderbox Charity Challenge). Since turning pro he has been playing in the Nordic Golf League. In 2018 his best finish is 7th at the 12 Twelve Championship.
Played at Carnoustie in the 2015 Amateur Championship.
"I grew up playing in exactly these conditions and I love links golf," said Magnus. "I played at Carnoustie in the 2015 Amateur Championship and there was no wind that day, so it wasn't too tough. But you could see that when the wind is blowing it can be absolutely horrifying."
