Amateur career
Holman had a successful amateur career and just prior to turning professional he was ranked number two in Australia and number 25 in the world. He played regularly as an amateur on the PGA Tour of Australasia in the last twelve months of his amateur career, including a top 20 finish in the Victorian PGA Championship. He also tied for fifth at the Heritage Classic and tied for third in the Victorian Open.[2]
Professional career
Holman turned professional in October 2013, and his first professional tournament was the Western Australia Goldfields PGA Championship at Kalgoorlie Golf Course from 3–6 October 2013.[2]
In only his fifth professional tournament, in November 2013, Holman made the cut at the 2013 Talisker Masters played at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club and significantly, was tied for the lead at the half-way mark. He went into the final round tied for second, having played the third round with Adam Scott,[3] a player Holman has described as an idol.[4] Although Holman faded in the final round with a 78, he did shoot three sub-par rounds to finish on -3 and 15th place in a tournament field of 120 competitors.[5]
Holman is a member of the 2013 Golf Australia National Squad.[1]
