Thorbjornsen made the cut as a high schooler. That's a major accomplishment in and of itself. Can't wait to see him on our course in about 15 months.
Wu is staying as an amateur to try to make the Walker Cup team. If finishing #2 among the 15 amateurs in the event, making the cut, and finishing in the Top 40 isn't enough to get a spot on that team - on top of winning a natty and going 3-0 in those matches - I don't know what is.
Low amateur Viktor Hovland turned pro immediately after the tournament. He had to stay as an amateur for the Open because he qualified for it by winning last year's US Amateur. That guy is gonna tear things up pretty quick. He's that good.
