There's another local prodigy, he's just a step behind

One can only imagine the thoughts that will be flooding through Li Haotong's mind as he follows the progress of compatriot Guan Tianlang during the Masters, which tees off at the hallowed Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday.

Awe and delight? Jealousy and frustration? Or a combination of both?

You see, Li, all of 17 years of age, is China's other male golfing prodigy, but it just so happens that the Chinese teen teeing it up at Augusta is only two years past his 12th birthday and the world spotlight will be well and truly placed upon him as long as he tours those 18 holes in Georgia.
