Amateur career

Hutsby had a successful amateur career, working under the tutelage of golf coach Sam Torrance until they broke up in June 2008. In 2009 he lost the finals of The Amateur Championship at Formby Golf Club to Matteo Manassero, the youngest winner ever. He won the Spanish Amateur in 2006, which allowed him to play in the Spanish Open, and lost the Spanish finals to Reinier Saxton in 2009.

In April 2009, Hutsby was 6th on the World Amateur Golf Ranking, the highest ranked English player at that time.

Hutsby was selected to play in the 2009 Walker Cup. [1] He lost his first singles, winning the Sunday foursomes with Wallace Booth and the Sunday singles, becoming the team's joint leading points scorer. [2]

Professional career

Hutsby turned professional immediately after the 2009 Walker Cup and made his first appearance as a professional in October 2009 at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. At the 2009 European Tour qualifying school, Hutsby finished 2nd behind Simon Khan, to earn a place on the European Tour for 2010. [3] At the end of his rookie season he lost his playing rights and played on the Challenge Tour in 2011, where he finished 48th in the rankings.

Hutsby returned to the European Tour qualifying school in December 2011, finishing second once again behind David Dixon to secure status for the 2012 European Tour season. [4]

In September 2014, Hutsby won the Kazakhstan Open on the Challenge Tour, beating Andrew Johnston by two shots. [5]

In June 2023, Hutsby won his second tournament on the Challenge Tour at the Andalucía Challenge de Cádiz in Spain. He was victorious in a six-man playoff. [6]
