Young star Zhang set to create US Open history

The 14-year-old set to become the youngest player in US Open history this week practised with Masters champion Bubba Watson yesterday.

Beijing-born Andy Zhang, now based in Florida, was informed late on Monday that Paul Casey’s withdrawal with a shoulder injury had opened up a place for him.

Tiger Woods practised with Casey Martin, the 40-year-old who qualified for the event 14 years after making history at Olympic as the first player ever to use a golf cart in a major.
