What a great week from the 15 year old Freshman in the Korn Ferry Tour event. Ended the week with 3 eagles as well. If he stays in the Top 25 he'll get to play in next weeks event as well.

Wow, it’s a bit unbelievable almost. Hopefully he keeps it up if being a pro is his aspiration

This young man has game. 15 years old, plays golf with his head attached to his shoulders.

Miles Russell is still an amateur golfer and intends to remain so for the foreseeable future. Russell, the 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach native who became the youngest player in history to finish among the top 20 in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event last week at the Korn Ferry Tour’s LECOM Suncoast Open.

Maybe Charlie Woods should take a few pointers and attempt to make and play a Korn Ferry event.

They were saying on PGAT radio today that Miles is 5'7" and 120 pounds, and his club head speed is 115 mph. Hard to imagine what it will be when he gets into his early 20s. He was also the Rolex Junior player of the year when he was 14, something TW never accomplished.
