Sam Locke (born 11 August 1998) is a Scottish professional golfer. He came to prominence by winning the Silver Medal, as the leading amateur, at the 2018 Open Championship.
Locke won the 2017 Scottish Amateur beating Ryan Lumsden, 9 and 8, in the final, after being 10-up after the first 18 holes. [1]
Locke qualified for the 2018 Open Championship by winning the Final Qualifying at The Renaissance Club with rounds of 69 and 66.
