Who is the youngest player to shoot their age?

[John Rock]

Saw a thing on the Golf Channel's coverage of the US Open last night about someone shooting their age. I wonder who is the youngest player who has shot their age at a Major? NT Event? A tier?

It's a much more impressive achievement in ball golf where the usual par is in the 70s

My guess is someone around the age of 38 or 39.

Robert if I'm not mistaken, Larry Leonard was born in 1963, he shot 41 at the '04 Coastal Plains, so may have been 41 at the time.

Or he may have beat that at Horizons in his late 30's.

Confirmed...LL shot two 39's at the 2002 Horizons Park Classic. If he was born in '63 he may have been 39 at that event.

Gotta be one of the kids at Roberts School.

Definitely

There was a 38 shot by Tom Monroe at worlds in 83, but he was apparently only 36 at the time.
