18 year old Danny Lee won the US Amateur golf championship in the weekend. Danny Lee is from New Zealand so it’s big news over here. But there’s a big reason people everywhere should sit up and take notice of this achievement. You see, Danny Lee is not only the number 1 ranked amateur golfer in the world, but by winning the US Amateur as an 18 year old he’s beaten Tiger Woods as the youngest person ever to win the title….by almost 7 months.
Pretty impressive!
Naturally people are expecting him to turn pro but apparently he’s not…yet. Because by winning the US Amateur he gets invites into 3 out of the 4 majors next year, if he turns pro that won’t happen.
It’s going to be great to see how he goes on the world stage.
I just hope he doesn’t go the way of so many of the top amateurs that we produce….which is to turn pro and basically never be heard of again.
It does look like Danny is different though. He has a heck of a lot of confidence and doesn’t seem to be fazed by anything. As long as he keeps that attitude New Zealand may have a world beater on its hands.
Interestingly, when I saw his swing I noticed that he does the secret golf swing move I outline here.
He looks to really attack the golf course too which will be great to watch.
