U.S. Am Champ, Seve's Son Eye Pro Ranks
/Sean Martin reveals that U.S. Amateur champion Kelly Kraft will not pull a Colt Knost, and instead play the Masters before turning pro. Of course, that means passing up the U.S. Open and Open Championships.
“I’m going to turn pro basically Sunday night after the Masters,” Kraft said. “I’m not going to play in the Open or the Open Championship because I can try to qualify for those.”
In contast, an unbylined Daily Mail report says Javier Ballesteros is going to turn pro after…law school.
'I have an invitation to play next May in the Majorca Open and I will play, for sure,' one-handicapper Javier said.
'Then when I've finished my law degree I would like to give it a shot and turn pro.
'While I am studying I cannot train a lot. I hit 200 balls every day but I can play only once a week and playing is when you really learn the game.'
