Highlights: Zurich Classic Round 4 Recap: Guan Tianlang
Recap of round 4: Guan pleased with play; last place in NOLA - 71st out of 156. There are some interesting comments about the kid after the article.
All in all, it's another very impressive performance by the kid. Remember, 我们是在看一个小孩跟大人比赛,而且他“击败”了75个大人。Guan seems to play much better in the first two rounds. He should be able to perform better in latter rounds when he grows up :)
We look forward to seeing him in the US Open local qualifier in 2 weeks in Dallas (refer to the article above). However, according to this report, "Thanks to his win at last year's Asia-Pacific Amateur, the teen is exempt from local qualifying and will tee it up in the 36-hole sectional qualifier at Lakewood Country Club in Dallas on June 3."
About the qualifiers: Any professional golfer, or any amateur with a USGA men's handicap index of 1.4 or lower, can attempt to qualify for the US Open.
The US Open is in June which means he'd not go back to school anytime soon if he qualifies. Good or bad, 走着瞧,对吧?
