In reality, it’s Tiger Woods who is the Bobby Jones of the 21st Century.
Bobby Jones was an amazing golfer, in his day, the best swing on the planet:
In his day, Bobby Jones played gold regularly with President Eisenhower, and enjoyed huge fame.
Tiger is a billionaire and he has a smoking-hot Swedish trophy wife, but how long will be hold-on to his titles?
Enter Grayson Murray of Raleigh North Carolina, who as a 9 year old child who had only been golfing for a few years was already shoots in the 70’s. At 15, he stands poised to challenge Tiger's records:
Grayson Murray - The next tiger?
Tiger Woods was coached by his Dad (a retired Army Lt. Col), and while he was a prodigy, this Grayson kid has him beat already!
Tiger was quoted as saying “people may out play me, but nobody will out-practice me”, a great testament that becoming a great golfer is far more than raw talent.
Grayson is already challenging Tigers records, and he may break Tigers record in 2009:
“Only three other boys have ever won three junior worlds in a row, a trio of names that includes one Eldrick “Tiger” Woods.
And, while Tiger and the other two “three-peaters” would all eventually win four in a row, Murray’s victory in July makes him a perfect three-for-three thus far in his young career — and Murray now has his goal squarely set on equaling his predecessors feat with a four-peat of his own in 2009”.
Make no mistake, I’m a fan of Grayson because he is a home town North Carolina boy, but by golly, any kid who can become a scratch golfer in 18 months is mighty impressive.
Will Grayson fall by the wayside?
Unless he REALLY WANTS IT and practices relentlessly, no amount of raw talent will beat Tiger.
