Meet The 14-Year-Old Chinese Phenom Who Outplayed The Pros At The Masters

At 14 years old, Tianlang Guan became the youngest Masters competitor ever today.

He exceeded all expectations too, shooting a 1-over 73, good for 45th place overall.

The 8th grader has an incredible individual story.

But his presence at Augusta is also an indication of the rising popularity of golf in China.

After being officially banned until 1984, courses are being built, upper-middle class people are playing, and the state is spending money on identifying young players.

China is on the edge of a golf boom, and Tianlang is at the center of it.
