Sonic Youth


No, not the band, but the other 'band' of fresh faced troubadors currently redefining the modern era of professional golf.

What a day this has been. Rory McIlroy, 20, wins on the US PGA Tour shooting 62 around Quail Hollow, a very tough, major championship style golf course. This of course followed on from Ryo Ishikawa, 18, winning the Crowns event in Japan after shooting, wait for it, 58 in the final round ( Good thing those v grooves came in and conquered the low scoring binge, isn't it!).

Add to this Noh Seung Yul, 18, winning the Malaysian Open earlier this year and a bunch of his compatriots stepping up to the plate in recent weeks (Kim Bio, Bae Sang Moon et al) and it looks like 2010 is going to be one thing- The Year of the Kid.

I'm off to Korea this week to commentate on the Maekyung tournament in Seoul, where all the young studs will be putting their games on show. No social media blackout in Korea (at least the South, anyway) so I'll be able to blog from time to time. Till then...
