Youth is Served
May 5, 2008
Two formidable young players won Tour events yesterday. On the PGA Tour, Anthony Kim broke through for his first win (we, as well as many others, have predicted a huge future for this young man). Kim is 22 years old and has the makings of a star. He is very long, hits a lot of different shots and has absolutely no fear (which sometimes also comes across as arrogance).
On the LPGA Tour, 21 year old Paula Creamer won her sixth event after a play-off with the ageless, Julie Inkster. To have done so at such an early age is really quite amazing but it goes largely unnoticed because of Lorena Ochoa and Annika Sorenstam. Creamer seems to be a genuinely nice young person, who also has all the tools to become a superstar. Winning 6 Tour events by the age of 21, though, is truly remarkable.
