John Anthony Parry (born 17 November 1986) is an English professional golfer.

Early life and career

[edit]

Parry was born in Harrogate. He won several high-profile amateur tournaments including the Danish and Spanish Amateur Championships, and represented Great Britain and Ireland in the Walker Cup before turning professional at the end of 2007.

Parry won the 2009 Allianz Golf Open Grand Toulouse on the Challenge Tour. He ended that season in 14th place on the Challenge Tour Rankings to earn his card on the top level European Tour for 2010.[1] During his rookie season he won the Vivendi Cup to secure a one-year exemption on the tour.[2] Parry was unable to follow up his win and in 2021, he was playing on the third-tier PGA EuroPro Tour.

In 2024, Parry won three times on the 2024 Challenge Tour season, securing automatic promotion to the European Tour.[3]
