Maybe, maybe not. Mercury isn’t tidally locked, and it’s a lot closer to the Sun than this planet is claimed to be. The planet isn’t likely to be a pleasant place though. With liquid water on the surface and such close proximity to the host star, there’s a strong chance that the planet will have tidal action in the oceans driven by the star itself. The Earth does experience tidal effects in the seas due to our own Sun, but they are largely invisible due to the much stronger tidal pull of our moon. Since the tidal pull of our own sun is 46% the strength of the tidal pull of our moon, one can only imagine the tidal pull a star would exert on the liquid surface of a planetary body 14 times closer.
Actually it is. It just happens to have such a high eccentricity, the tidal lock is not a 1:1.
