Hunter Myles Mahan (born May 12, 1982) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.
Mahan was born in Orange, California. He had a successful amateur career, winning the U.S. Junior Amateur Golf Championship in 1999 before enrolling at Oklahoma State University. Mahan was the runner-up at the U.S. Amateur Championship in 2002. He won the Haskins Award in 2003 for outstanding collegiate golfer.
Mahan turned professional in 2003 and made it through qualifying school to earn a PGA Tour card for the 2004 season. His first PGA victory, which came at the 2007 Travelers Championship, lifted Mahan into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings.[1] In August 2007 Mahan entered the top 50 and by March 2008 he had reached the top 30.
