Andrew Oldcorn

Andrew Oldcorn (born 31 March 1960) is a Scottish professional golfer.

Early life and amateur career

In 1960, Oldcorn was born in Bolton, Lancashire, England. However, he was raised in Edinburgh, Scotland and represents Scotland.

He represented England as an amateur and won the English Amateur in 1982. He also represented Great Britain & Ireland at the 1983 Walker Cup.

Professional career

In 1983, Oldcorn turned professional. Oldcorn was medalist at the European Tour Qualifying School that year. He had a steady start to his career on tour before being struck down with ME (also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) in the early 1990s. He returned to form in 1993, to claim his first tour victory in the Turespana Masters Open de Andalucia. Away from the tour he also won the Sunderland of Scotland Masters. Several solid years followed along with another title, the 1995 DHL Jersey Open. The undoubted highlight of his career came in 2001 when he became the oldest winner in the history of the Volvo PGA Championship (although Miguel Ángel Jiménez would later beat that record). He finished that season a career best 26th place on the European Tour Order of Merit.

Since turning 50, Oldcorn has primarily been playing on the senior golf tours, having won twice on the European Senior Tour.
