South African golfer Christo Lamprecht is hungry for more success after winning the Silver Medal the Open Championship.
Amateur Christo Lamprecht on Sunday became the first South African to win the Silver Medal at the 151st Open Championship.
Lamprecht was a surprise co-leader after shooting five-under 66 on the opening day. He couldn’t quite match his Day 1 heroics as he finished 11-over par in a share of 74th position.
But the 22-year-old was the sole amateur to make the cut which meant he scooped the prestigious Silver Medal on Sunday.
Lamprecht was one of six amateurs in the field, the others being Spaniard Jose Luis Ballester Barrio, Argentina’s Mateo Fernandez de Oliveira, German Tiger Christensen, Ireland’s Alex Maguire and Australia’s Harrison Crowe.
Lamprecht is no stranger to setting records, having been just 16 when became the youngest-ever winner of the South African Amateur Championship at the Humewood Links in 2017.
In 2018, he became the first foreign winner in the 76-year history of the East of Ireland Amateur Open Championship.
