Who is Lam Chih Bing?

Lam Chih Bing is an Singaporean professional golfer.

Lam was a scratch golfer at seventeen, and attended the University of Arizona in the United States before completing an MBA at the University of Leicester in England, following his ambition to become a fund manager. Instead he began a professional golf career, joining the Asian Tour in 2001. In his first seven seasons Lam struggled to retain his card, never finishing inside the top 60 on the Order of Merit, but 2008 was his breakthrough year, with four top-10s and a maiden tour win at the prestigious season-ending Volvo Masters of Asia.

Lam made news following a strange occurrence at the 2013 Hong Kong Open. Anthony Kang was the first alternate, but withdrew and volunteered to caddy for Unho Park. Finland's Joonas Granberg was disqualified for going to the wrong tee. Jeppe Huldahl was originally called to replace him, but since Granberg was an Asian Tour member and the Dane was a member of the European Tour, Huldahl was pulled off the course and third alternate Lam scrambled to the first tee and shot a first round 66 and tie for third. Three consecutive 72's caused him to fall to a T65 finish.
