Although unofficial Reece is believed to be the youngest person at five years of age in the world to beat a pro over 18 holes strokeplay format in any golf event.There are also other records at stake such as youngest person to play the most professional golfers 7 and the most holes in a week totalling 126 and the most yardage/distance overall 43,895 yards.He played all courses first drive on the 1st tee at St Andrews Bay to the last putt on the 18th on the Old Course with the same ball.A Wilson Dx2 and its still in great shape.
We must have faced all of mother nature's elements this week and it must be taken into consideration that the winter elements are still taking there toll on the course's.The pro's commented you would see a huge difference in the scores during the summer months and thank goodness he played from the same tees as us.He gave us a chance to stay in front just.
Before playing the last day on the old course he dedicated it to(Tiger Woods) his hero's dad Earl.Hope you get better soon Mr Woods.
