He is one of the rarest US Open players. Just ask … another 17-year-old

Oakmont, without. – m are loopy, such as H, so Mason Howell needed a pen on Sunday on his airbnb and a whole paint.

People would soon want his autograph in Oakmont country clubAnd the current version was tougher to read than the greens there.

“I had to do a little practice,” he said.

By Tuesday morning, or he would find his groove, or no one looked in mind. The hats came. Flags. Giant golf balls golf. Trade went to Victor. As for what the believers were taking here, except a Mason? Then there and there, a memorandum from a rare thing. At the age of 17, he is the last on a short list of players under the age of 18 to play a We openNow baking her 125th birthday. Of course, all that something has to tell you.

The good of the 17-year-old.

Damn well.

Stay a par-5 away, and you will swear that he was a pro-tournament. Its shaking is an exercise in efficiency – for, from, boom, repeat, whether at the beginning of a hole, its end or somewhere in the right path, a more frequent hanging. More facts and the figure keep it. In early May, he co-media with his open local qualification. Nine days ago, in his latest qualification, he fired a 63rd pair of co-perpetration again. He is a state champion, playing outside the Brookwood school in Thomasville, Ga., Who is also his hometown. He is a Golf’s recruit of the University of George, though he will not be in Athens until the fall of 2026; Howell is just a new one.

Believers in it are everywhere. Mom Lauren is. It tells you about the photos.

The types of media, she says, have called for some good snaps, and her search has been somewhat annoying and fruitful.

“The thing I keep finding,” Lauren said, “is so many are almost dark or the sun is rising. And it’s just the job he has introduced.

“We’ve chosen him on the course before he could drive in the moonlight because he was still there shredding and placing it.”

Mason’s father, Robb, has seen him. He said he got the golf at the Law School. Before Dad and the young boy watched on TV, the young boy gave things with a plastic club, the young boy asked to go to the course – and then he was out. “All that he wants to do,” Robb said. “He doesn’t want to eat. He doesn’t even want to really sleep. He definitely doesn’t want to go to school.” But he will fish. And play poker. Robb has a story here. His son’s gang Lion Texas Hold ’em. Money games. Tour. Cards fly. Eventually Robb will come in. But here too, there is golf.

“I like to keep a poker face on the course,” said the 17-year-old.

“I like people can’t tell if I just made a noise or a bird. Keep the same face no matter what during the interview.”

His provision, says the inner circle, is his strength. Here, Robb has another story, though it takes a second to finish it. Last Monday, after He would qualify for an open in the USAt the points-with-Histori Oakmont, the child greeted the mother and dad near the 18th green with two words.

“He said thanks,” Robb said.

He stopped. You know why.

“He is always known that he did not do this himself. And his family and friends were all a large part of his journey. He’s always quick to give credit where it is because of the loan. He’s a good, good guy.”

Thursday, the 17-year-old begins his first round At 8:46 morning out of hole no. 10, and on Friday, he will play his second round starting at 2:31 pm in hole no. 1, and the hopes are what you will expect – reach Saturday and Sunday, then go from there. Win? Why not? At least be low amateur. You do not have to depart from high goals. He said he has the game. You don’t have to say you don’t.

But he is also 17 years old. Robb remembers those days, and he responds faster than his son’s swing when asked if he could do what his son would try it He was a teenager.

“Absolutely not,” he said. “I have no talent and skill.

“I don’t even have nerves.”

Lauren?

“I know I couldn’t,” she said. “Because I would be just a nerve ball and I would probably hit it two meters in front of me.”

What about Jimmy Gillam? He is Mason’s high school coach, his short game coach outside his Glen Arven Country Club base, also in Thomasville, and this week, he is working as his own. He has won an event in Oakmont. Through some friends, he has helped set up the team’s near house this week.

“Yes, without a chance,” he said about copying duty.

Of course, the inner circle also believes that their 17-year-old can, for all the above reasons. Good head. Good game. Talent is also growing earlier in golf. Squint, and a small event looks like a tournament, completed with polos, khakis and 350-boron rockets. “They’re playing at a professional level,” Robb said. “I know the margin is not enough, but they have all the shooting.”

You ask yourself, anyway: Wold what another 17-year-old would mean? Perhaps the one who looked at the 17-year-old US Open-and wondered, as the 17-year-old of the US Open, for returning home. Talk about an authorizing source. You don’t have to look away – one so happens to be his standard carrier during his practice round on Tuesday afternoon. A 17-year-old who bears a mark with the name of another 17-year-old is a picture. Both have hair that appears from below their hats. The volunteer says he has played Oakmont. He says it is about a 1- or 2-Handicap.

He says he couldn’t do what he was doing Mason.

He also said he is never someone like Mason.

At least not at his age.

“Absolutely absolutely amazing,” says standard carrier. “Truly spectacular truly what he is doing, the work he has introduced and how he stays fresh, calm and pressure gathered is simply amazing to see.”

A few minutes later, Mason is signing more autographs.
