I think I saw his name at the US open
. I think just the talent coming out is going
to be incredible. And I think he's, you
know, one of those guys that will be up
there leaving the pack and, you know, he's
got a lot of talent and also no fear.
And so for a kid to come out here and
just show up and put his name on the leader
board, he is really impressive. Another incredible story
is the 20 year old amateur Michael Thor Bjornsson from
Wellesley Massachusetts, his second shot at the par 5/6
hole from 260 yards away and he nearly holds it
. He's just four back after that eagle over to
eight. And here is the young amateur you were
talking about Nick. That is an unbelievable birdie at
the eight raised about an hour and 45 minutes from
here in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Wow, how about
this again? He gets another tap in. No
. 10 Thor Bjornsson. I mean, that's a
huge drive. I just checked 100 and 21 miles
an hour club head speed and hence he just had
a wedge in here and another chance. I mean
, he made the cut in the US Open Pebble
Beach when he was 17. This to be second
. All right. Oh, the future just might
be today right now. And the 2018 US junior
amateur champion six A. Let's go to 17.
And you never know what might happen with shots and
holes like this coming home. Oh, what a
great shot. That's a ner shot with a pound
in front, isn't it? Alright. Thor Bjornsson
at 18 for birdie, I must say he looks
impressive, doesn't he seriously talented? Good luck young
man. Obviously to enjoy the the stage already.
No embarrassment factor. And this should be the best
ever finish by an amateur and will be I think
it was louder here. Uh compared to last week
at the US open, it was very special.
I mean, they made me feel at home here
. Yeah. Wow. It was pretty cool.
I felt really good and comfortable out there and then
towards the end had a couple of hiccups which happen
sometimes. I don't think I was too nervous.
Just a couple uh mi executions and what not to
16. Michael Thor Bjornsson. It's such a beautiful
putting stroke there. He is a rising star pac
12 golfer of the year. This kid can flat
out play. We're gonna see a lot of him
on the tour in the future. This right of
the P needs to go to cover the bunker All
right. Now, that cut is very far away
from him. The locals will enjoy that. He
finished fourth last year. He hits it amazing.
I think everyone knows that. I think he's not
afraid of the moment. I feel like pretty much
everyone around my age now is not afraid of coming
out here and playing well. He's obviously done that
and contended in, you know, a couple of
tour events, but all in all, he's just
a good dude, you know, I think he's
going to be very successful out here.
