"I think that I would have been very happy to make the cut at the start of the week," Lyle said. "But when I played (last) Sunday, I went round with six birdies and three bogeys so I was 3-under. So that sort of gave me a little bit of hope."
"Remember, he's only 14," said Sandy Lyle, the 1988 Masters champion who was paired with Guan on Sunday. "In another three years, you'll probably see a huge difference in his length."
