Gordon Sargent might only be entering his third year of college, but the 20-year-old Vanderbilt junior is already turning heads on the biggest stages with his prodigious length and speed.
In his two PGA Tour starts this season, both majors (Masters and U.S. Open), Sargent has averaged 323.9 yards off the tee and 125.6 clubhead speed. Those numbers would rank second and third, respectively, on the PGA Tour.
Sargent will tee it up in this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic – and he might find it difficult to be the longest player not just in the field but in his group.
