When Matthew Wolff was born, Tiger Woods already owned four majors. He wasn’t even old enough to drive when Rory McIlroy won his most recent major. He’s playing in only his second major ever, after last month’s PGA Championship.
Matthew Wolff is young, is what we’re saying. And the 21-year-old is currently leading the U.S. Open by two strokes heading into Sunday.
This doesn’t come as a surprise to those who keep an eye on golf outside the majors. Wolff’s a brilliant talent with a tree-chopping stroke that’s more fit for a home run derby than a golf course.
