Ewen Mackenzie Stewart Ferguson (born 6 July 1996) is a Scottish professional golfer.
During his amateur career, Ferguson won the Boys Amateur Championship in 2013, [1] and is the only player to hold the British Boys title and both the Scottish Boys Matchplay and Strokeplay titles simultaneously. [2] Ferguson was a member of the 2015 Walker Cup Great Britain and Ireland team. In August 2016, he reached the quarter-finals of The Amateur Championship. [3]
Ferguson turned professional in August 2016. [4] [5]
In November 2017, Ferguson made the final stage of the European Tour Q-school and finished in 76th place. He then competed full-time on the Challenge Tour in 2018 and 2019, with a best finish of runner-up at the Euram Bank Open in 2019 and finished 25th in the 2019 Road to Mallorca Challenge Tour rankings. In 2019 he had a best finish on the European Tour of third place in the Belgian Knockout. [6] Covid hit before the start of the 2020 Challenge Tour season and so with a freeze on demotions and promotions from the Challenge Tour and European Tour, Ferguson took advantage of his category and nearly managed to play a full European Tour schedule. Returning to the Challenge Tour in 2021 he was a runner-up three times and had three other top-10 finishes, he finished 8th in the Road to Mallorca Challenge Tour rankings, securing his full European Tour card for the first time. [7]
In March 2022, in only his 37th start, Ferguson claimed his first European Tour victory at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters. [8]
Ferguson won his second European Tour event in August 2022 at the ISPS Handa World Invitational. He shot an opening-round 61 to eventually win wire-to-wire. [9] A month later, he finished second at the Made in HimmerLand in Denmark; one shot behind Oliver Wilson. [10]
