his course management needs alot of work. he does try to leave himself good distances. maybe it will come with maturity but he is noone near the PGA tour.

[jrbechthold]

He won our state am last year and has pretty good mechanics... I think he should have spent a few years in college though. But yea, he sure can hit it a ways.

[blue_crush]

all he need now is to take up smoking and drink diet cokes
and get a hooters sponsership........

This awesome man was on my highschool golf team last year so I got to play with him a few times and he is an amazing guy.

He hits the ball a mile but is down to earth and can have fun on a course.

I'm sure rooting for him!

He is playing this week at the Scandinavian Masters on the European tour.

First round scores (with a few golfers still on the course):

T114 Tony Finau +4 (74) T135 Gipper Finau +5 (75) With a good 2nd round either or both could make the cut.

[putterboy]

tied for 113th and 137th respectively.

if history repeats itself he will come in strong with a low number to make the cut.

Currently -6 leads the event

all he need now is to take up smoking and drink diet cokes

And gain a hundred pounds?

He sure is a bomber, but his other stats dont look that good. Im sure hes a good golfer, good luck to him.

His little brother hits it longer, but he has no "safe play" in his strategy what so ever.

[King Cobra II]

150 mph!?!?!?!

Nah I was talking to Gip and he said that at the Scandinavian Masters the crowd was booing whenever he went for anything but driver so he decided to give them what they wanted.

He still almost made the cut. <3 these kids.

Oh, I see. I was only there on the final day when they were out of the tournament. They were still there, entertaining people in the long driving competition against the longest hitting Swedes. Needless to say, they won pretty easily. They both seem like great guys.

Yeah they were both having a great time.

They are just fantastic guys, they are crazily good but can still have a good time, and neither of them have really let success get to their heads as far as I can tell. It's just incredible to play with them, driving 370 yard par 4s into the wind and sticking driver to 6 feet.
