China's Tianlang Guan, the youngest player ever to tee it up at the Masters, is teetering near the cut line Friday after being assessed a one-stroke penalty at the 17th hole for slow play. The 14-year-old eighth-grader shot 3-over 75 at Augusta National and is 4 over for the tournament. The projected cut line is based on the 10-shot rule, so Guan needs the 36-hole leader to be no lower than 6 under for him to make the cut. Guan made par-4 at No. 17 but had to put a 5 on his card. John Paramor, a longtime and respected European Tour rules official, was involved in the decision to penalize Guan. Paramor said he issued a warning on the 10th green, advised Guan on the 12th tee, and then again at Nos. 13 and 17 before issuing the penalty after Guan played No. 17. "I feel like that in those situations, any time they happen, that's my job," Paramor said. "That is what I do." Source: ESPN
He's 14 so it's amazing he even made it to the Masters to begin with. I watched some of his play and yeah he's beyond slow. Good thing he wasn't playing with Rory Sabbatini..
