About Adam Blyth

Blyth was an exceptional amateur golfer. After becoming a force on the amateur scene in Yeppoon, his father, Stephen, sold his successful mechanic business and moved the family to Brisbane so Adam could be exposed to more competitive play. He won 32 amateur events, including the 2003 Berkshire Trophy in England and the Gulf Coast Open.

Blyth turned professional in 2004 and joined the Asian Tour in 2005. In his rookie year, he made the cut in 14 of 22 events, earning his first top-10 finish as a pro when he finished fifth in the Volkswagen Masters-China. His overall ranking of 50th and his $69,180 in prize winnings were good enough for Blyth to maintain his Tour card the following year.

As of 2009, Blyth has yet to win an Asian Tour event, although he has had two second-place finishes. In 2007, he dueled Gaurav Ghei at the Pine Valley Beijing Open before coming up short at the end. In 2009, he finished second at the Indonesia President Invitational. For his career, he has 13 top-10 finishes.

In addition to the Asian Tour, Blyth has played in events that have been sanctioned with the Asian, Australasian, and European Tours. In 2007, he attempted to qualify for the European Tour through Qualifying School but was unsuccessful. He plans to try again in November 2009, with his ultimate goal of playing on the PGA U.S. Tour. His only experience on that Tour was when he qualified for the British Open in 2008 but failed to make the cut.

Blyth credits his father with his success and has returned the favor by bringing him on as his caddy. If he was not a professional golfer, Blyth has said he would be either an artist or a disc jockey. When not on the golf tour, he enjoys listening to music and hanging out with his friends as well as his girlfriend.
