Bensonhurst junior golfer to play in major tournament
Gets advice from LPGA star Cristie Kerr
Nortee Panpinyo could be the Tiger Woods of the future.
The 13-year-old Bensonhurst youngster will compete in a major tournament in Florida in December, thanks to the City Parks Foundation, which recently awarded him a scholarship.
Nortee will get to take part in the Doral Publix Junior Classic tournament, a premier event in the Miami for young golfers that brings out over 680 competitors from around the world to compete each year. Contestants not only have to be great golfers but they also have to demonstrate academic excellence in school.
“I’m really excited about it,” Nortee told the Brooklyn Eagle on Sunday. “It will be great to meet and compete against people from all over.”
