My father in law just reached out to me about Lamprecht - not bad to lead the Open as an amateur. And lots of mentions of GT in the other press, as well as some on the broadcast. Nice hat his caddy is rocking!
British Open: 6-foot-8 amateur Christo Lamprecht leads the tournament
The towering amateur from South Africa cards a magnificent 5-under opening round to lead at Royal Liverpool.sports.yahoo.com
This was also hilarious:
He just won the British Amateur a couple of weeks ago. That qualified him into the Open this week, and the 2024 Masters, I think also the US Open next year. That would keep him In school for next year. If he turns pro the Masters invite would be withdrawn. He really found his game this summer. I hope he plays well the rest of the tournament.Amateur Christo Lamprecht stands out for height and play at The Open
