Chinese teenager Andy Zhang was a bundle of nerves on the first tee at the US Open on Thursday, hands and knees shaking and worried where his opening drive would end up.
The 14-year-old hit it long but missed the fairway and his nerves were still frayed. He made a triple-bogey on the first hole, then a double-bogey on the second.
After five holes, he was eight-over and looking completely out of his depth. But Zhang managed to regain his composure and steadily grew in confidence.
