I hope he wins!!!!!

Impressive stuff to do that as a 15yr old.

[TiScape]

Wonderful! We could be looking at the next Ty Tryon. 

[LinkLow]

He's got quite the resume. I hope he does well. 

[jt2gt]

He might look like a 15 year old, but if you have ever seen any videos of him playing, he literally acts/plays like a 30 year old veteran.  Hopefully,  he doesn't become emotionless, angry, I hate making millions playing golf like young, thomas, morikawa, cantlay, etc.

I saw that Grant/Miles video a couple weeks ago. That kid is unreal.

 

I hope he does well. And if he aspires to be a PGA pro, I hope he makes it and has a successful career. So fun to watch these young guys make this stressful game look so damn easy.

Nicklaus was 35 when Tiger was born. Tiger was 33 when this Russell kid was born, so it's the right age gap for The Next One. It will be interesting to see how things play out for him over the next 10+ years.

I hope he doesn't bring out.  Seems like a good kid. If love to see him be successful. 

[Wesley-B96]

Kinda wild to see tbh.. A freakin 15 year old.. Good for him!!! I certainly hope he keeps grinding away. Saw him on youtube a while back and seems like the real deal.

[ingy]

i can't imagine being 15 and rocking up to a tour setup course and blasting an opening 68, unbelievable stuff, good on him

 

[JetSpeed79]

I’m going to go way out on a limb here and say that this kid makes varsity. 

[bscinstnct]

He -5 after 4, projected cut is -5 😳

[bscinstnct]

-7 thru 9 !

[bscinstnct]

He did it, -8 made the cut!

 

Is there any precedent for this?

Other than Guan Tianlang making that cut in the Masters a decade ago, I've never heard of such a thing.

So envious of these damn kids and their gumby spines made of rubber. That's, like, a 270* shoulder turn or something (maybe not quite that much, but still). My back gets sore just looking at that picture. 

[tomjas]

Can understand why the media made such a big fuss about Charlie Woods but they’re levels apart

 

His Dad should have known better because this kid hasn’t just appeared out of nowhere

The next Scottie Scheffler... apparently.

 

[StoutKing]

Obviously the young man is mega talented.  Would love to see him play a tournament with persimmon and balata, blades and an 8802 putter.  Would be really fun.

[bscinstnct]

Kid is tough, blows up the first 3 holes now fighting almost back to even for the day 

 

 

[BobMorris]

....and now at -9.....1 under for the day.

 

Great showing.

Dude is walking in putts! 🤩

This is pretty crazy.

Very solid performance by the kid. He’s officially on the radar. 

[PedronNiall]

A little more quality play like this and he'll be able to join WRX. Most have to wait far longer to get that honor.
