Former OSU golfers Scott Verplank, Charles Howell III 'knew what was coming' with PGA young stars

HONOLULU — Leave it to the oldest rookie to best illustrate how the PGA Tour has become such a young man's game.

Chris Thompson tried for 19 years to reach the highest level of golf, and he finally earned a PGA Tour card when he was 42. With every year he spent on mini-tours from Florida to Arizona, he couldn't help but notice that getting better only meant keeping up.

"It's a profession that not many good players get out of, but there's always good players getting into it," Thompson said.

Stewart Cink knows what he's talking about it.
