Just finished the 2019 Charlotte Amateur Championships (A Tier, 349 players). MA1 (89 players) was won convincingly by a 14 yr old (Evan Scott, current under 15 US DG Champion). Coming in 3rd was a 15 yr old (Evan Smith) and finishing 4th was Anthony Anselmo (current 12 and under World Champion--also 2 time World Champion at 10 and under), When these 3 mature and progress, they should be familiar names in open in less than 10 years.

Could be that there will be so many male Open players that seems like at every NT or PT event a tie breaker is going to happen and every player who wins will have to score a record breaker for the course at each tournament. Tournaments played on Golf Courses for NT and PT some will have to change to possibly take off some of the open temporary used traditional ball golf courses used. The NT and PT might have to have courses made for the top level players to use and too difficult for 2/3 of the field, courses like the 2 Millo courses for the Beaver State Fling.

Add some good young European players who started young and the MPO field could look very different in 5 years.

I'm pretty sure 3 of the top 6 at USADGC are 18 or under

Now, island #7 at Selah Lakeside? To reach it in one throw IS too difficult for most. I watched a group of 10 semi-local Texans try to make the green in one; all they accomplished was 12 discs in the lake (some took 2 discs to comprehend the futility of their efforts).

Like with all kids, it depends on whether they keep their interests going as they become more independent. Plenty of young talents in all activities burnout because it was driven more by their strict parents than by themselves.

...and there was at least one who is 15 in the tie for 8th.

I know that Kennan Johnson who was in the big 8th place log jam is under 18. Played in the same C tier as him this weekend. He shot a 1015 rated round playing the course blind. Lot of young guns out there who are super talented. Like someone said above though, not all of them will decide to pursue playing professionally. It's a big lifestyle commitment, and many of them get burnt out by the time they independently make all of their own choices.
