Emiliano Grillo Thrived At PGA National When A Junior
6 years agoJunior golf will always raise an eyebrow when it gets mentioned as being proof of a player having course history, but Emiliano Grillo has finished first in stroke play three times at PGA National as a junior. Grillo grew up playing during the 'Golden Age' of junior golf, facing the likes of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele weekly. However, it has taken the 26-year-old slightly longer to find his rhythm on the PGA Tour than his counterparts. Grillo is a world-class iron player and ball-striker, but his putting statistics have been hit-and-miss yearly. It is just a matter of the Argentinian putting together all facets of his game at the same time, and Grillo's eighth-place finish last season at the Bear Trap shows that this is a venue that fits his eye.
