American · Los Angeles, USA · Born 17 March 1992American golfer with eight PGA Tour wins including the 2021 Memorial, BMW Championship and Tour Championship, but has not yet won a major.
Patrick Stephen Cantlay was born on 17 March 1992 and developed into one of the most dominant amateur golfers of his generation at UCLA, spending 55 weeks as the world's top-ranked amateur and shooting a stunning round of 60 on the PGA Tour at just 19 years old. Cantlay earned low amateur honours at both the 2011 U.S. Open and the 2012 Masters Tournament, before turning professional in 2012 and winning on the Web.com Tour the following year to earn his PGA Tour card, though a serious back injury threatened to derail his early career. Cantlay overcame his injury struggles to become one of the PGA Tour's most consistent performers, winning eight tournaments and representing the United States in multiple Presidents Cups and Ryder Cups, developing a reputation for his deliberate, methodical approach to the game. Cantlay has continued competing at the top level of the PGA Tour, remaining one of the most statistically accurate ball-strikers on tour, a testament to the resilience he showed in rebuilding his career after the injuries that nearly ended it in his early twenties.
