Zander Lombard (born 18 January 1995) is a South African professional golfer.

Amateur career

As an amateur, Lombard won several events in Africa and represented South Africa in the Eisenhower Trophy in 2012 and 2014.[1] In 2014, he was runner-up at The Amateur Championship, losing to Bradley Neil in the final, 2 and 1.[2][3] He turned professional in late 2014.

Professional career

Lombard earned a spot in the 2016 Open Championship after a second-place finish at the Joburg Open, an Open Qualifying Series event.[4] He made the cut,[5] and finished tied for 66th.

Lombard was runner-up in the 2017 Rocco Forte Open in Sicily, losing to Álvaro Quirós at the second hole of a sudden-death playoff.

After a poor start to 2018, Lombard tied for 6th place in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. This also gave him a place in the 2018 Open Championship where he finished tied for 67th. In August, he won the Vodacom Origins (Zebula) on the Sunshine Tour.
