The next golfing prodigy?
From ESPN: Tianlang Guan put off his homework for a few hours, grabbed the snack his mom had made and went out to play with his friends.
His playground was Augusta National and the world had tuned in to watch the 14-year-old from China, the youngest player ever to tee it up at the Masters and youngest at any major in 148 years.
That's some play date.
"I felt a little bit nervous on the first tee," Guan said. "But I hit a great tee shot and, after that, everything feels comfortable. ... I just had fun today. Pretty much fun."
Played great, too.
Guan made a 15-footer from off the fringe to birdie his final hole Thursday, finishing with a 1-over 73. As the ball rolled into the cup, the crowd around 18 gave the teenager a standing ovation, with two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw leading the cheers for his young playing partner.
Play like this again Friday, and he's got a shot at making the cut. http://espn.go.com/golf/masters13/story/_/id/9162025/2013-masters-tianlang-guan-14-cards-73-opening-round
Currently, he is in a tie for 46th and beating players like Bubba Watson, Ben Curtis, Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw. He is also tied with Steve Stricker.
Hopefully he will get a good night sleep and go out and shoot another great round.
