Would that be the Georgia tech recruit?

Maybe I’ll break the news later I think it’s fine.
I don’t believe he ever committed to GT he did commit to wake forest at one point but decommitted later.
Must be the kid that Small that pulled out of tournament to go watch him in US Junior am.
I’ll give some big hints. The guy on campus that was the big recruit is 17, has made the cut at a PGA event, and has a first name that is a kind of irons style. He’s also considered the top amateur in his class.

Why would he go to college?
Ding ding ding
Very few golfers go straight to professional. It can be easier to make it from college.
I'll take him, but was really hoping for Mashie Niblick from Scotland.

Even Tiger went to college for a couple years.
Oh I know. But things are changing. If a guy can earn a paycheck right now, and it seems he can, I'm wondering why not.
Good tournament for Ryan, decent for max. Jackson struggled a bit, not bad for Trey. Finding a solid 5th will be the make or break of our season.
its actually incredibly difficult to do. you have to earn you way to the tour any which way you slice it. he may get some sponser invites but those are even tough to come by. college is one of the easiest ways currently to do it.
maybe, I actually think Jackson has to be better for us to compete. we are fine with the 5th options we have if you ask me. didn't really pan out this tourney. But without our big gun we are not competing against comp like this. I expect he will be just fine throughout the rest of this season, however. he just had a bad tourney. We haven't been good at this one the last couple of years
Golf is an individual sport and not nearly as easy to 'go pro' as other athletes in team sports can. College/NCAA can help a player develop mentally which is a HUGE part of the pro game..... Coaches like Small can greatly increase a players mental side as well as fine-tune their mechanics.
