A 14-year-old has made the cut in his European Tour debut at the China Open.
SHENZHEN, China — Having only recently completed his midterm exams at high school, 14-year-old Chinese golfer Kuang Yang felt underprepared heading into his first event on the European Tour.Kuang holed a par putt from around 20 feet at No. 18 on Friday to shoot a second straight 1-under 71 and make it to the weekend on the number. He became the youngest person to make the cut at a regular European Tour event — outside the majors — at 14 years, six months, 12 days.
He is less than a month older than compatriot Guan Tianlang, who famously made the cut at the Masters in 2013. He is still at school and says he manages to get in only about 15-20 hours of practice a week. He has been even more pressed for time recently because of his midterms. Among the 45 Chinese players competing in Shenzhen this week is a kid even younger than Kuang. Ma Bingwen, who is aged 13, shot rounds of 78 and 79 to miss the cut.
