Who Is Sam Bennett's Girlfriend?

Sam Bennett won the 2022 U.S. Amateur Championship. His path to victory was one of the toughest in championship history. Bennett took down #13, 27, 10, 9, and 8 before holding off #70 Ben Carr with a 1-up victory on the 36th hole at Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey. But who is the young American currently going out with? Well we take a look here.

“I want to go sky-diving,” he says. “I want to go skiing on the indoor slope at the mall. I want to go to the top of the tallest building in the world [the Burj Khalifa]. We’ve got some things to get through.”

Walding, a principle administrative specialist at Halliburton, is believed to have met Bennett while the couple were studying at Texas A&M University from 2017-2021. 

Walding studied Tourism and Travel Services Management and got her degree in 2021. We also believe she was a member of the Texas A&M diving team. 

They keep their relationship under wraps but Walding shared a photo of herself with Bennett and his caddie at the Dubai tournament we mentioned earlier.
