This just in from the AP...HONOLULU — A teenager from Hawaii made it to the U.S. Open, just not Michelle Wie.
Tadd Fujikawa, a 15-year-old who just completed his freshman year at Moanalua High School, beat out nine other players in the smallest U.S. Open sectional qualifier to earn a trip to Winged Foot next week.
Fujikawa missed by year becoming the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Open. Tyrell Garth was 14 when he qualified to play in 1941.

Where's all the publicity about him? I guess he needs to turn pro soon and get a Nike deal in order to get media attention.
Nah, Michelle Wie was getting pub before she turned pro and before her Nike deal. This kid's so new, except for the Hawaii media, nobody knows much. That should change at the Open.
He's 5'1" and a Judo prodigy also.
