The interesting question is does this dude need to go through college and excel in the amateur ranks in order to suceed as a pro, or can he dive in at 16 or 17 as a pro and still make it.

Apparently Chubby Chandler (who manages McDowell, Clarke, Westwood etc.) has already thrown his hat into the ring to manage him.
He looks like an incredible player.

What are his options? Can he drop out of school at this point and go pro if he wanted to??

Although I would hate to see him do that - is this an option?
