Ryo Ishikawa to Make Masters History
posted in Golf Player's |Young Japanese prodigy Ryo Ishikawa is set to make history at this years Augusta Masters after being given an invite from the Augusta National Golf Club.
Ishikawa will be the youngest ever professional to play at Augusta when he tee’s off on April 9th at this years first major of 2009. When on the first tee he will be 17 years, six months and 23 days.
This will only make Ryo Ishikawa the second youngest player in Augusta history though as the record is held by amateur Tommy Jacobs. The American played in the 1952 Augusta Championship at the age of 17 years, 1 month and 21 days.
With Jacobs only been an Amateur in 1952 it means Ryo Ishikawa will be the youngest ever professional at Augusta in history.
Augusta National Golf Club Chairman Billy Payne said “we see this opportunity to expose an emerging talent on world stage”
it has also been rumoured that Ryo Ishikawa will be playing at the Bay Hill Tournament in March after an invite from golf Legend Arnold Palmer. This event should also see the return of Tiger Woods.
