Cole Hammer is only 15 years old, but is already competing with the top golf champions. Finally reaching his goal of playing in his first U.S. Open, he was shown kneeling before his first hole, prompting media to speculate that he was about to cry from the pressure.

That wasn’t the case. He was praying, something he tells Fox Sports that he does before every round.
“I always pray right before my round on the first tee,” Hammer says. “That’s all I was doing. I wasn’t emotional or anything.”
Apparently the prayer worked. Hammer went on to finish 7-over-par, beating Tiger Woods. Never underestimate a 15 year old and the power of prayer! Watch a short interview with the impressive young man below.
