Max Lechner

Known to fans as "Mad Max," Austria's Max Lechner announced himself on the big stage by reaching the final of the 2022 US Open. He backed that up with another final appearance at the 2023 International Open, and has been a fixture of deep Euro Tour runs, regularly advancing to the last 16.

Now 36, Lechner has climbed to a career-high ranking of No. 30 and remains one of the more experienced heads capable of troubling the tour's younger stars.
