Doc Hudspeth Redman (born December 27, 1997) is an American professional golfer.

High school career[edit]

Redman was born in Raleigh, North Carolina.[2] He attended Leesville Road High School where he was the North Carolina 4A state champion as a senior and All-State four years in high school.[3]

College career[edit]

Competing for the Clemson Tigers, where he studied actuarial math. Redman won both the Jackrabbit and the Ka'anapali Classic in the fall of his freshman year.[4][5]

Amateur career[edit]

Redman won the 2017 U.S. Amateur, after finishing 62nd out of 64 in the stroke play qualifier.[6] He was also runner-up at the 2017 Western Amateur, losing in a playoff.[7]

Redman competed in the 2017 Walker Cup.[8]

Professional career[edit]

Redman turned professional following the 2018 NCAA Golf Championship and made his professional debut at the Memorial Tournament.[9] By turning pro, he forfeited his exemptions into the 2018 U.S. Open and 2018 Open Championship which he earned via his U.S. Amateur win.[10]

In June 2019, Redman shot a 62 to Monday qualify for the Rocket Mortgage Classic. In the tournament, he shot 68-67-67-67 and finished solo second to Nate Lashley, who ironically got into the field as an alternate after failing to secure his spot through the same qualifier. This earned him $788,400, entry into the 2019 Open Championship and Special Temporary Membership on the PGA Tour for the rest of the season, after starting 2019 on the third-tier Mackenzie Tour.[11] Although he played in only six PGA events during the 2018–19 season, the 400 points he earned as a nonmember were just enough to surpass the 376 points needed to qualify for PGA Tour membership in the 2019–20 season. In 2020, he qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs, where he ranked number 71, just missing the BMW Championship. In 2021, Redman tied for third in the Safeway Open. At the Palmetto Championship, he finished in a six-way tie for second.
