Lachlan Barker is an Australian pro from Adelaide (Willunga) who developed his game at Iowa State University in the United States before turning professional. He announced his arrival on the professional scene with a dominant victory at the 2023 PNG Open, where he shot a final-round 67 to win by four strokes at Royal Port Moresby Golf Club.
Barker has continued to be a consistent force in the 2025/26 season. He has recorded several high finishes that have kept him in contention for top Order of Merit honors, including a standout 4th place finish at the Vic Open in January 2026 and a T3 finish at the WA Open in October 2025. His powerful game and recent form suggest he is knocking on the door of a second tour victory.
