Don’t count on Brad Faxon to supply Haotong Li any placing ideas anytime quickly.
We child, however apparently, the two had a fairly humorous first assembly. The Chinese star who shot a gap 71 on Thursday at the Masters, shared a hilarious story of taking part in with Rory McIlroy and Faxon a few years again that cracked up the crew at Golf Channel.
As the story goes, McIlroy invited Li to play with him and they had been joined by Faxon, McIlroy’s placing coach. But Haotong had no clue Faxon was additionally an eight-time PGA Tour winner. Take it away, Haotong!
In Haotong’s protection, Faxon, now 64, was far faraway from his peak. But, nonetheless, fairly humorous. Especially to Rory, who clearly unfold the story to the level that Li can be requested about it by a few of Faxon’s TV colleagues.
Anyway, Haotong—and Rory—actually did not play like low-handicap amateurs on Thursday.
