Guan Tianlang is in good company this week at Augusta National. He played a
practice round Monday with two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw, then headed
out in the afternoon with Tiger Woods. He has a game lined up Tuesday with
Tom Watson, an eight-time major champion. On Wednesday, he plans to play the Par
3 Tournament with Nick Faldo, winner of six majors. Cant he play with someone
his own age? Not at this Masters. Guan is the 14-year-old from China, the
youngest to ever play in the Masters and the youngest player at any major in 148
years. He qualified by winning the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship last fall
in Thailand, and now he gets a crack at the best in the game, on one of the most
famous golf courses in the world. Nerves? So far, only a big smile. "Im really
excited in the morning when I come out on the course and theres many people
here," Guan said Monday, conducting his news conference in English with a
Chinese translator at his side in case he needed help. He rarely did. The kid
has shown to be special in many ways. He went wire-to-wire in the Asia Pacific
amateur, and he wasnt even rattled on the final hole at Amata Spring Country
Club. With a belly putter he had been using for about six months, he calmly
rapped in a 5-foot par putt for the one-shot win and a drive down Magnolia Lane
-- in the passenger seat, of course. Age seems to have no limits these days in
golf. Tiger Woods was 21 when he set 20 records to win the 1997 Masters.
Sergio Garcia was 19 when he nearly beat Woods in the PGA Championship two years
later. Morgan Pressel was 18 when she won a major championship on the LPGA Tour.
Lydia Ko was 15 when she won the Womens Canadian Open last year on the LPGA
Tour. Even so, this is the Masters. Guan is 14, the only player in the field who
brought his eighth-grade homework with him to Augusta National. "I knew he was
young," Steve Stricker said Monday. "I didnt know he was the same age as my
daughter. Yeah, thats remarkable. And Ive been telling my daughter the same with
this Lydia Ko, who has been playing on the LPGA Tour. I just cant imagine being
that young and competing at this level at such an early age. It will be
interesting. Ill be interested to see how he does and how he handles it and how
he plays. Its remarkable that hes even playing." The only player younger than
Guan in a major championship was Young Tom Morris, who was about a month younger
in the 1865 British Open. He arrived a few weeks ago and cant get enough of
Augusta. Guan figures he already has played six rounds, and he was with a member
the day he shot 69. Whether that translates in the tournament is another story.
Guan played in the Australian Open in December and opened with an 82 at The
Lakes in Sydney. He bounced back with a 70 the next day, though the first-round
score was enough to imagine what kind of number waits on the 7,445-yard course
at Augusta National, where just getting to the slick, contoured putting surfaces
is part of the challenge. "I would say Im not long enough, but I think Im still
all right in this golf course," Guan said. "And I drive a little bit longer in
Thailand than here, but I think Im still all right, not a really serious
problem. Jonathan Toews Womens Jersey. " At least hes
finding the right kind of help. A friend at his home course in China knows
Crenshaw and passed along the message that the kid wanted to play a practice
round with him. Crenshaw gladly obliged, and was impressed with what he saw.
Guan did not go wire-to-wire in Thailand on accident. Crenshaw studied his
touch, balance and rhythm, and he tried to show him the nuances of the slopes on
the greens. "It was fascinating to see," Crenshaw said. Guan planned to stay in
the Crows Nest on Monday night, the tiny quarters set aside for the six amateurs
in the field this week. He has been spending long days at Augusta in the week
leading to the Masters, not leaving until twilight on Saturday. And he was back
on the course Sunday, playing nine holes and heading to the practice round. He
was startled by a familiar voice. "There he is!" Watson bellowed in his
direction. After a hearty handshake, Watson said to him, "Working hard?" Guan
nodded. "GOOD!" Watson replied, flashing his gap-tooth grin. The 30,000 fans on
the course Monday didnt seem to bother Guan on the first official day of
practice. Woods played 14 holes on Sunday with Stricker, and then returned
Monday afternoon to play with Dustin Johnson, with Guan tagging along. "Its
frightening to think that he was born after I won my first Masters," Woods said
two weeks ago at Bay Hill. This is not the first time Woods has seen the Chinese
teenager. He was at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai a few years ago, and during
the pro-am Guan was in a group of juniors who played with Woods on the par-3
17th hole. Woods stood to the side amazed, not only at such a polished swing,
but the composure playing before a thousand people. Guan has been looking up to
Woods since he was 3 or 4 years old, and "its pretty exciting to watch him." "I
played with him twice in the past couple years, and he gives me many advice and
I will say every time I play with him, I feel a lot better and give myself some
confidence and its very good," Guan said. Nicolas Colsaerts is making his
Masters debut. The Belgian, however, has the experience of playing major
championships and a Ryder Cup last year. Plus, hes 30. "I dont think I would
have handled it," Colsaerts said. "You know, 14, were all busy already playing a
lot of good golf, but to play Augusta at 14, I think everybody is almost in
shock. I hope for him hes going to enjoy this week as much as I am. I almost
feel like I should be considered the same way because this place needs to be
treated more as a rookie thing. But, yeah, its quite an achievement to get to
play Augusta and the Masters at 14 years old." There was one question in
Chinese, and Guan slowly shook his head waiting for the reporter to finish. As
the centre of attention this week, the reporter was curious if Guan would feel
embarrassed if he plays poorly. For Guan, its more about the experience than the
score. "As I say, Im not going to push myself too hard, and Im trying to just
enjoy my game, play my best, and hopefully play some good score," he said. ' ' '
