Cole Hammer is 15-years-old, has a cool name, and is really good at golf. What more could you ask for?
He’s already verbally committed to play golf for the University of Texas after he graduates in 2018, and the Hammer showed his power once again on Monday, when he shot 64-68 during sectional qualifying in Dallas to nail-down a spot in the 2015 U.S. Open. When he tees it up next week, he’ll become the fourth-youngest player to play in a U.S. Open.
Hammer smashed a handful of PGA Tour golfers in the process, and told the Dallas Morning News that he was ready to put the hammer down (I’m reading between the lines) on the rest of the field next week:
“This means the world to me,” Hammer said.
