Lawry Flynn (born 4 March 1998) is an Australian professional golfer playing on the PGA Tour of Australasia.
Early golf career
Flynn started playing golf at the age of 9[1]. Hailing from Dalby in the Darling Downs region of south-west Queensland, the access to private golf clubs and academy programs as a junior was limited. The foundation of Flynn’s swing developed on the family farm in Dalby. With 500 acres of space, Flynn built two holes and his very own bunker.[2]
won the Malaysian Amateur
Professional career
Flynn made the decision to turn professional on the 9th of July 2021, making his debut at the Maroochy River Pro-Am on the PGA Tour of Australasia.
He shot eight-under 62 in the third round of the WA Open at The Western Australian Golf to earn a spot in the final group on Sunday and believes he is better placed to capitalise on his latest surge up the leaderboard. [3]
Flynn equaled an Australiasian Tour record for the held by Paul Gow (2001 Canon Challenge), Ernie Els (2004 Heineken Classic), Alistair Presnell (2010 Victorian PGA) and broke the tournament record of 60 (11-under par) at Bonnie Doon Golf Club TPS Syndey, missing a birdie putt on the final hole to stand alone.[4]
