Willibrordus Adrianus Maria “Joost” Luiten is a Dutch professional golfer who plays on the European Tour. Luiten won for the second time on the European Tour in June 2013 at the Lyoness Open in Austria.
He took a three-stroke advantage into the final round and shot a one-under-par 71 to finish two ahead of Thomas Bjørn. He became only the second player from the Netherlands to record multiple European Tour victories, after Robert-Jan Derksen.
Where did Joost Luiten go to college and high school?
Luiten was born in Bleiswijk and started playing golf at 6 years old at Golf Centrum Rotterdam. As an amateur, he won the 2005 Spanish Amateur Open Championship and German Amateur Open Championship.
After a failed bid for a tour card at Qualifying School, he started his professional career on the EPD Tour where he claimed second place twice in just four starts. Because he did not have a tour card Luiten was solely dependent on invites to play on the Challenge Tour.
