29 Jul Prodigy Avery sure bet to reach top
Breaking news! Mark my words Amari Avery will be the next LPGA sensation and become the youngest black golfer in history to play in a professional golf major. I don’t have enough room to include all her achievements so far in her young golfing career but take it from me that she has an advanced skill level that is destined for the highest echelons of the LPGA Tour.
I know that there are some Honda representatives that tune in on my tips, so may I ask that she’s considered for a sponsor’s exemption into the 2018 Honda LPGA Thailand event? Avery turned 13 on Dec 30, a birthday she shares with another prodigy Tiger Woods. She was the world’s No.1 ranked 12-year-old girl golfer.
In the summer of 2014 as an 11-year-old she attempted to set a world record as the youngest player in history to qualify for the US Women’s Open coming up five shots short. As a six-year-old prodigy, Avery was the star of the documentary The Short Game.
Up until his untimely death at the end of April 2015, Avery worked with the greatest ball striker in PGA Tour history, Calvin Peete. In July 2015 Avery played alongside golf legend Lee Elder in celebrating his achievement as the first black man ever to play in the Masters in 1975.
