From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Lawrie (born 22 March, 1974) is a Irish golfer. He won the 1996 Irish Amateur Closed Championship and turned professional in 1997. It took him several years to win a place on the European Tour, but a fourth place finish on the Challenge Tour Rankings in 2002, including victory in the Challenge Tour Grand Final, earned him a European Tour card, Which Lawrie credits much of to the help of swing coach, Brendan McDaid. He had a solid debut season at the higher level in 2003 and became the first Irishman to be named the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year. He was continued to play steadily since, but has not yet won a European Tour event. Was educated at University College Dublin where he took up a golf scholarship.
