Guan Tianlang to Play Memorial Tournament

Screen Shot 2013-05-20 at 11.12.40 AMThe 14 year old Chinese amateur, Guan Tianlang, wowed the world at this year’s Augusta National by being the youngest player to ever make the cut in a major championship. Placing 58th at the Masters, Tianlang made the cut for the PGA Tour Stop in New Orleans. In fact he made such an impression that he has been extended an exemption to play in the Memorial Tournament next weekend by Jack Nicklaus himself.

“I am very excited to accept the invitation to play at the Memorial Tournament,” Tianlang said. “It is Jack Nicklaus’ event, and the same as all the golf fans out there I have very high respect to Mr. Nicklaus, not just as a golf legend, but also as a great person. He has been actively involved in the development of golf in China, and junior golf development worldwide, and as a junior golfer myself I appreciate what he has done to help us grow.

“For his country, he’s going to be the poster boy of being able to say, `Look, I can do this. You all go do it, too,”‘ Nicklaus said.

The Memorial Tournament will be hosted from May 30- June 2 at the Muirfield Village. Tianlang will fight many respected golfers for the 2013 title including Tiger Woods, who will be defending his 2012 title.

It’s not just the golf course that is getting great reviews. The Mountain Falls Grill Room also received the following review on UrbanSpoon:

“I just ate at Mountain Falls for the first time since they hired the new chef, and I liked it so much that I am eagerly posting about my experience. In the past the Grill Room has been okay, and I have gone thee because I love the golf course and because the Grill Room has always been a bargain. Now it is more, the food we had was excellent. The pot stickers that we had for an appetizer were easily the best I have ever had, and the ‘Chicken Parm’ was moist and very tasty. I prefer dark chicken to white chicken because I find most white chicken to be dry, but that was not the case here. The side of angel hair pasta was way above average as well. Then when you get the check and it’s $40 for two meals including sodas and appetizer and the meal become a fantastic value.I will be back within the week.”
