“Maybe,” Manassero said, when asked if he hopes to beat Ishikawa to the green jacket. “But I’m dreaming about being the Masters champion. At what age, I don’t mind, actually.” ------

A smart young man.

"Manassero has now made the cut at both his majors, having tied for 12th at last summer’s British Open." ----

... pretty amazing.

AUGUSTA, Georgia, April 9 (Reuters) - Precocious British amateur champion Matteo Manassero claimed another record on Friday when the 16-year-old Italian became the youngest player to make a cut at the U.S. Masters.

“Fantastic,” his father Roberto told Reuters behind the 18th green. “For Matteo, it’s incredible.”

The soft-spoken Italian teenager is nearly two years younger than South African Bobby Cole when he made the cut just shy of his 18th birthday in 1967.

From bleacherreport.com

During the 2009 British Open, Tom Watson was paired with Monassero for two rounds.

"I can't predict how good he will be, but the snapshot right now looks really good," Watson said to the New York Times about the 44 years younger Monassero.

Yoi!

Yes, but the greens will be a little harder and the pins will be tucked away here and there a little more.

Woods still owns that course. The course is waaaay too forgiving to his wayward tee shots (no rough). And 13 and 15 are cake for him.

He looks like the winner (unfortunately) from here.

Good, we can always use young blood in golf. One of my favorites on tour right now is, Colombian Camilo Villegas.

It amazing that Woods is in such good condition mentally and physically. He appears to have no conscience.

So typical of a sociopath. They have no shame and no guilt and tell convincing lies.

He is really impressive.

May he sustain his skill and humility.

Or maybe it's just the relief that comes from not having anything to lie about anymore. He's been a sleaseball, but I'm not sure he's a sociopath.
