i was at the vancouver event on the canadian pga today.
anyone in texas or elswhere know of this texas kid austin connelly who just turned pro from high school. got advice from jordan speith apparently.
he made 2 cuts on pga tour last year when he was in high school...... was either #9 amateur or junior in the world. probably the latter
was going to go to university of arkansas but decided to turn pro instead.... "amateur golf is boring"
he is embracing his canadian dual citizenship i'm pretty sure so he can get into international events more easily
nice score on thursday in vancouver. not so good today.
my real question though is: how big is this kid? looked tiny when i first saw him but then it turned out he was a bit bigger than i thought....... didn't seem to pound the ball either. must have an amazing irons and short game
i should add he seemed super figedty sp?
