The PGA Tour is in Kuala Lumpu, Malaysia this week for the CIMB classic. Billy Horschel, Jason Dufner and Guan Tianlang are in the field.

What were you doing around the time of your 16th birthday? Maybe you were beginning work on your college application forms or thinking about a trip to the mall with your friends. It is all but a guarantee that you weren’t preparing for your seventh event on the PGA TOUR.

Guan Tianlang is making his seventh PGA TOUR start this week at the CIMB Classic. Guan, who made the cut at age 14 at the Masters, turned 16 on October 25.

“My life is a bit different than normal kids because I have a second life that is golf. However, I think I am having a pretty balanced life since I still go to school and study, I do manage to practice golf as much as I can,” said Guan, who has made four PGA TOUR China Series starts this season, with a tie for 24th at the Cadillac Open his top performance. “I also enjoy my time as every other kid at my age, I love playing basketball and watching sports games, and I do it all the time with my friends. To me, playing at the tournaments are pretty much the same, I always get myself fully prepared and hope to do all I can to give my best performance. But of course, there is a lot of super talented players on the PGA TOUR and you always have so much to learn.”

Some might be satisfied by being the youngest ever to make the cut at one of the most prestigious events in all of golf. Guan, however, has shaken the urge to become complacent. If anything, the success at Augusta and the praise from players like Tiger Woods, Gary Player and many others in the golfing community has only fueled his fire to succeed. Since the Masters and the handful of PGA TOUR, Japan Golf Tour and European Tour events that followed, Guan has resumed his studies, returned to playing some junior amateur events but also spent some time practicing and working with golf instructor Sean Foley.

Does Ryan Moore have a club sponsor? Looks like a couple of his woods are TM and he is definitely not playing any "major" brand irons (Muiras, maybe?)...anyone know?

He's sponsored by TaylorMade.

I think he had the Miura PP-9003 irons back in the bag this week. At the Shriners he had the TaylorMade MB irons. Last year when he won in Malaysia he was playing the PING S55 irons.

I also found interesting that Gary Woodland finished 2nd, two years in a row now as well. Some courses just work well to a golfer's eye.

On that note, I was more fascinated by the fact that for the last 5 or 6 years they said an American has won this thing.  So, maybe this is more of an "American" style course?

Really? Wow. Interesting that he doesn't rep the Adidas and TM gear (clothing) like the rest of them.

Him holding an equity stake in True Linkswear sort of precludes him from any shoe or clothing deals.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
