This Chinese Tiger is not one of those hiding in the woods of Northeastern China but the one now playing on the golf course at Augusta, Georgia (USA) where world’s best golfers are competing for the Green Jacket – the Masters. Who is his utmost competitor? None other than Tiger Woods, of course. This Chinese Tiger is 14 years old.

Yahoo Sports:
Tianlang hails from Guangzhou, China. He qualified for the Masters last fall by winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship. He's a 5-foot-8, 140-pound prodigy who should be in the eighth grade and has the messy bedroom back home to prove it. "He doesn’t really clean it," mom said. "He’s like a normal "

Normal? Well, this week he had a practice round with Tiger Woods – "He's 14," Tiger said. "Good stuff." – a sit-down with Jack Nicklaus, and this scene Thursday: a huge gallery of fans craning their necks to see his first shot, a simultaneous glimpse at both history and the future.

He smacked it dead center down the first fairway – his playing group included 61-year-old Ben Crenshaw – en route to a solid 1-over-par 73, which he capped off by dropping a 20-foot birdie putt on 18.
