We've all seen he's got a serious game! Six for six cuts made, two top-tens and a win... Come on

This is what I was referring too when I said "is he major material" Pretty obvious he can play consistently well, just wondered what your thoughts were about him playing on super tough/long tracks

[Deryck Griffith]

John has game....

I'll continue to watch him with interest.

John Huh currently:

9th on money list

2nd in scoring average

5th "all around"

6th in eagles

9th in driving accuracy %

This is how you start your career on tour, folks.

Looks like the pairings for the Honda Classic are out. Paired with Charl Schwartzel and Ernie Els for Thur and Fri. I wanna play golf with Ernie Els!!!

Seriously impressive numbers!

[Shorty]

Would I be mistaken in saying that his start has been very similar to Johnny Vegas' last year?

Ben - were you contacted by a reporter about your time playing with Huh?  On morning drive this morning it was mentioned that one of the reporters (don't remember his name) was unable to find much info about Huh, but had contacted one of his friends via an online forum.  Thought it might have been you.

Similar results, but they're drastically different players. Vegas is longer off the tee, Huh is straighter. Vegas is more accurate with his irons, Huh is a much better putter.

hahaha, yeap, that was me. It was Jerry Foltz, he sent me a PM here after John's showing in San Diego. We talked a bit that following Monday. There's not much dirt to dish on John. Actually there's no dirt... He's the model of the professional who's hard work and determination is paying off! Its all very motivating. He's really lit a fire under all of us that know him. I know I've never practiced as hard as I have been...

What did Foltz have to say?

He just said that there is very little information about John  out there.  They were complimentary of his game.

That's awsome!

[Beachcomber]

Hahah... This is a cool thread.  I'll have to check out John's scores this week at the Honda.

[Zeph]

Really impressive start both the win and the stats. Cool to have tour players close to forum members. Hope he will continue the good play. I'll be watching.

[Ben]

Another Friday and another finish high up the leaderboard. Go John HUH!!

[Ben]

John needs our help! Rough day one today. Send him some good thoughts!

[1puttit]

Tell John we're rooting for him! I have him on my fantasy golf team if that helps at all.

Couldn't find him on twitter or I'd give him a good luck shout out.

GO HUH!

BTW - What does John think of Gary McCord's nickname of "Johnny Question Mark" ?

[Ben]

Dangit. I was really looking forward to a Tiger like streak of cuts made out of John. But, he's still young and its very early in his career. On to next week. Go HUH!

1puttit, I'm gonna see his caddy, Zeke, tonight, I'll ask him about that.

[Ben]

After a rocky Round 1 John grinded out a -2par Round 2 to make the cut on the number. Moving day tomorrow!!!
