Harrison Crowe (born 15 October 2001) is an Australian professional golfer. In 2022, he won the New South Wales Open and the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.

Amateur career

Crowe had a stellar amateur career, topped off by winning the 2022 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in Thailand, which earned him major championship starts at both the 2023 Masters Tournament and the 2023 Open Championship.[1] In 2022, Crowe went viral after he executed a trick shot at the Old Course at St Andrews, hitting a ball from the pavement outside a pub, over nearby buildings and onto the 18th green.[2] [3]

Crowe won the Victorian Amateur Championship back-to-back in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, he won the Australian Master of the Amateurs and the 2022 New South Wales Amateur Championship, where he was runner-up in 2023. He represented Australia at the 2022 Eisenhower Trophy and won the 2023 Bonallack Trophy with the Asia/Pacific team.

In 2022, Crowe won the New South Wales Open at Concord Golf Club, becoming the first to win both the New South Wales Amateur and Open in the same year since Jim Ferrier in 1938.[4] He was also runner-up at the PGA Classic at The National, another PGA Tour of Australasia event. He rose to 23rd in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

Professional career

Crowe turned professional in September 2023 and joined the PGA Tour of Australasia, capitalizing on the exemption he received for winning the NSW Open. He was runner-up at the 2023 Queensland PGA Championship.[5]
