Peter Uihlein: The future of golf
Thursday, April 7, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. --
First time out in the biggest tournament there is, on the historically nervous-making first tee shot, Peter Uihlein just "killed it." Said with a smile of wonder at what adrenaline does. "It went through the fairway," he said, and from trouble he got it on the green for a two-putt par.

"Awesome," is what he said of the day. It was late, the soft golden light of evening coming. Arnie and Jack were long gone home for their legends' warm milk and cookies before bedtime. And there stood Peter Uihlein, the future. Twenty-one years old. Lean, lithe. Aglow in the sunset.
