CLE ELUM, Wash. –– Nobody expects Jordan Costello to run out of breath any time soon.
Costello, 17, lives at an elevation of 7,200 feet in Pinedale, Wyo. He has been swinging a golf club since he was 3, although his golf season lasts just four and a half months and there isn't an 18-hole golf course within 80 miles of his home.
"I can't wait to see what he does when he can hit balls for 12 months a year," said his father, Shane Costello.
Jordan fired 67 to win his U.S. Open local qualifier by two strokes.
