Hannah Menchu - 14-year-old Chinese golf prodigy stuns at Masters

14-year-old Chinese golf prodigy stuns at Masters

The Masters golf tournament in Augusta Georgia is being played this weekend.  The Masters is one of golf's four majors.  It is the Super Bowl of golf.  

This year 14 year old Guan Tianlang from China was invited to play in the tournament.  He shocked the world by making the cut to play the weekend.  He made the cut despite being imposed a one stroke penalty for slow play.  

Guan is the first Chinese golfer in history to make the cut in the Masters.  It is hard to believe that he made the cut at 14 years old, that is younger than me.  It is also hard to believe because many professional golfers that have been very successful did not make the cut.
