David Llewellyn (golfer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Llewellyn (born 18 November 1951) is a Welsh golfer.
Llewellyn played on the European Tour in the 1970s. He was the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year in 1971 and he achieved a personal best ranking of thirty-ninth on the Order or Merit in 1974, but did not win any tournaments in this period. After a spell as a club pro in the early 1980s he returned to tour golf in the mid 1980s, and this time he scored several tournament wins. His sole win on the main European Tour was the 1988 AGF Biarritz Open. He also won the 1987 Vernon's tournament in Merseyside, on the informal European satellite tour which existed before the official Challenge Tour was founded, and the 1991 Ivory Coast Open, which was a Challenge Tour event. However the highlight of his career was probably winning the World Cup of Golf for Wales with Ian Woosnam in 1987. He left the tour for a second time in the early 1990s and later became National Coach to the Welsh Golfing Union.
