It goes with his blistering 7-under par round of 65 yesterday in which he led the field on a tough day by four strokes. He had started poorly, two over par after seven holes, and then went nine under par his last eleven holes, which may be some kind of record at the Masters. Rose is one stroke ahead of left-hander Brain Harman and a new, young guy on the PGA Tour who looks like Thomas Jefferson.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/347\/2021\/04\/WillZalatoris.png\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13927\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/347\/2021\/04\/WillZalatoris.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"265\" height=\"192\"><\/a>He is 24-year old, 6\u20192\u2033, 165 pound Will Zalatoris, possibly a rising new star on the best pro golf circuit in the world. He quit school at Duke and missed Q-school his first try. Last year he did well on the PGA Tour\u2019s Korn Ferry Tour and won one tournament. He gets a lot of club head speed and therefore hits the ball long off the tee with a fairly short backswing and hardly any wrist cock. If he wanted to, by adding <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/347\/2021\/04\/thomas-jefferson-headshot.png\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13928\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/347\/2021\/04\/thomas-jefferson-headshot.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"265\" height=\"265\"><\/a>wrist cock to his backswing, he could hit the ball a country mile. Will also looks like a great putter. He putts with a long putter with the grip hugging his left arm, which stabilizes the club head and I think is a terrific method.<\/p>\n<p>Zalatoris was born in San Francisco and lives in Plano, Texas. He attended Trinity Christian Academy in high school, which is a conservative, non-denominational Christian school. Will won the U.S. Juniors in 2014. He attended Wake Forest University, a Baptist school, and quit in his senior year to turn pro. He tied for 6th last year in the U.S. Open, indicating he may have quite a future in pro golf.<\/p>\n<p>Superstar Jordan Spieth\u2013a three-time major winner who got back in the winners circle last week after a long drought\u2013is lurching close behind at 5-under par.
