Cameron Tringale

Made his first Open Championship appearance since 2015 last year and finished joint 26th.

Qualified for the 2009 U.S. Open as an amateur and later the same season represented his country in the Walker Cup at Merion.

Rickie Fowler and Brian Harman were among his team-mates and Tommy Fleetwood was part of the Britain and Ireland side as Tringale recorded an 8&6 win over Luke Goddard, the third-biggest margin of victory over 18 holes of singles in the event’s history.

A student at Georgia Tech, he also played that year in the annual Arnold Palmer Cup college match against Europe and was unbeaten.

On turning professional in 2009 he instantly gained a PGA Tour card at the qualifying school, but so far has had to settle for four runner-up finishes on the circuit.

He was two behind Hunter Mahan at the 2014 Barclays, then the following season was pipped by Justin Rose at the 2015 Zurich Classic and by Smylie Kaufman at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, while in October it was Hideki Matsuyama who got the better of him at the Zozo Championship. He did, though, taste success with Jason Day at the unofficial Franklin Templeton Shoot-out in 2014.
