TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- With each passing day, Byeong-Hun An is making his resume look more impressive.After playing 125 holes of golf in the past six days, the 17-year-old South Korean needs only one more win to add a line as the youngest champion in the history of the U.S. Amateur.
"Age doesn't matter," An said Saturday after beating Fresno State sophomore Bhavik Patel 3 and 2 in the semifinals. "If you look at the PGA Tour, Tiger Woods is around his 30s. Rory McIlroy is like 20 or 21. Kenny Perry is around his 40s, I think. I don't think it matters."
An, the son of Olympic medal winners in table tennis, said the only difference is that young players can make a splash with big wins and make people think, "He has a title, he's a good player, he's so young."
