At some point after he won the 1986 Masters, Jack Nicklaus lost two major championships. He's just not sure when.
There was a time when a 14-year-old on the PGA Tour would be considered big news.
Guan Tianlang will surely remember his first trip to the Masters.
A list of how teenagers have fared on the PGA Tour:
History is one of Guan Tianlang's favorite subjects in school.
Guan Tianlang, the14-year-old Chinese golfer and the youngest competitor to ever play in the Masters, was assessed a one-stroke penalty for slow play in Friday's second round. The Masters follows the Rules of Golf as written by the U.S. Golf Association and the Royal & Ancient. Like all tournament committees the Masters can supplement those with local rules.

"When the caddie pulls the club for him, I think he's ready. But he just sometimes _ most of the times _ he takes a little too long. He just asks questions that I think he knows, just to be sure, just to be clear in his mind," Manassero said. "If I would have took more time on 16, I probably would have saved two shots, as well."
