About Matthew Jordan
Matthew Jordan, managing trustee at Indstrl Lgst Prpt Trst, spoke about his past amateur golf career in a September 2020 interview. He described winning the Lytham Trophy in 2018, recalling the weather as "sunshine, no wind" and the final holes as "daunting horrendous" but enjoyable due to his lead. Jordan stated that he did not turn professional immediately after the 2017 Walker Cup because he wanted to "prove myself for another year" and "solidify myself as a top amateur." Jordan said that after turning professional, he received invitations to play Challenge Tour events, which led to Challenge Tour status and eventually a European Tour card after a top-15 finish. He expressed gratitude for the Lytham Trophy win, saying it "gave me confidence" and that he is "very thankful for that." He also mentioned the Great Ormond event as one he "certainly wants to win as an amateur."
