Toss The Burner: Jan. 21, 2009
Posted on January 21st, 2009 by Mike under phenoms, toss the burnerI am legitimately worried about this guy’s career peaking too early.
Japanese phenom Ryo Ishikawa became the youngest golfer to win on any tour at the age 15, and at age 17 has already risen up the ranks to #60 in the World. Not to mention he finished 5th overall in the money last year.
He’s a phenom festival, plus he looks like he’s going to unleash a tornado whirlwind kick after he’s done reading this green
I’m sure he could have just called somebody if he wanted to get exempt for stateside PGA event this year, but before he had the chance to do that Arnold Palmer played his consummate golf legend card and took matters into his own hand.
According to PGAtour.com, Palmer sent Ishikawa a personalized letter asking him participate in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill (March 23-26). Ishikawa, known also as ‘the shy prince’, graciously accepted and will be one of two exempt players who will get to compete against a top-ranked field next March that could include Tiger Woods, who could potentially return to tour action by then.
