The top five teenage golfers
Predicting future stars in golf can be a dangerous game. Call someone the next Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy and, in 10 years’ time, there’s as much chance you’ll find them working in Wetherspoons as winning the Masters. Our predictions five years ago, however, weren’t half bad…
Matteo Manassero
Turned pro in May, won Casttello Masters in October and is now in the world top 100. He’s still only 17!
Ryo Ishikawa
The 19-year-old won his first pro event at 15 and already has eight Japan Golf Tour wins under his belt.
Noh Seung-Yul
He won the Malaysian Open this year and is closing in on finishing top of the Asian Tour Order of Merit. He’s 19.
An Byeong-Hun
Became the youngest ever winner of the US Amateur a month short of his 18th birthday last year.
Jordan Spieth
At just 16 years old, this hot prospect made the cut and tied 16th at the HP Byron Nelson Championship.
