While the other four award recipients will be watching the Byron Nelson Championship, the 14-year-old Guan -- already the youngest player to make a cut on the PGA Tour -- is playing in the tournament. This is the second PGA Tour event for the eighth-grader from China since making the cut last month at the Masters. He also made the cut at New Orleans, where he first spoke with Nelson officials about playing this week. "Always a challenge, every tournament, because this is another big event ... this is only my third start and everything is still new to me," Guan said Wednesday, a day before the Nelsons opening round. "I have to play my best and make some good score." The youngsters impressive performance at Augusta has led to invitations to play in other events. He hopes to again be playing in the weekend rounds. "For this week, I want to enjoy the experience, great experience here," Guan said. "And hope to, yeah, make the cut. And if I make the cut hope to play better and better."

"I think its incredible what hes doing," Spieth said about Guan. "He played beyond his years, the composure. I watched him at the Masters and honestly going into it, I thought it would be a little too much for him, and he surprised the whole world. Then to follow it up with a made cut in his second event." The two had what Spieth described as "small talk" when they were on the range next to each other in New Orleans. This week in the area Spieth calls home, they were near each other on the putting green. "It was just me and my bag, and he hes got a whole group of people," said Spieth, a past recipient of the Byron Nelson International Junior Golf Awards based on golf performance, academic success and community involvement. Guan has handled the pressure of playing PGA events. He said he prepared for the Masters for a long time, and that experience helped him in New Orleans and should help him this week. "Just a long way to go," Guan said, adding that he has learned a lot in just two starts. "Yeah, a little used to getting to know what to do on the tour. Best players in the world, what are they doing, what are they playing." ' ' '
