Getting your player ready...
The older players can relax. Jin Jeong won’t be taking their money for a few more months.
The only amateur to make the cut at the British Open tied for 14th, a finish that would have earned him almost $88,000 if he were a professional. Despite his possible windfall, Jeong said has put plans to turn pro in September on hold.
“I can play the Masters next year, and I really want to play that tournament,” the British Amateur champion said. “So I’ll probably stay amateur until then.”
The 20-year-old drove the 18th green Sunday for a second straight day. Unlike on Saturday, he made a 25-footer to close out his first British Open with an eagle.
