PGA Young Guns: 2011 High School Class Hits PGA Tour

Emiliano Grillo

The 24-year old Argentinian is turning heads as his name appears on PGA Tour leaderboards. Emiliano Grillo’s first career win came at the 2015 Frys.com Open when he shot -15 par to take the victory. Since then the Argentine has had impressive outings in various major championships, 2016 Masters (T-17th), 2016 U.S. Open (T-54th), Open Championship (T-12th) and PGA Championship (T-13th).

The thing that stands out to me about Emiliano Grillo is his ability to make the cuts during majors. He has yet to miss a cut in any major, which gives him a massive opportunity to build skill and experience in the high-pressure environment of major contests.

Just like almost every golfer in this article, Grillo won PGA Tour “Rookie of the Year” honors in 2016. After grinding out a few years on the Web.com Tour, Grillo was finally ready to step into the top level.

Grillo has played in 38 career events on the PGA Tour, securing 6 top 10’s and 1 win.

Look for the name Emiliano Grillo. He’s going to sneak up on you as you find yourself watching him in the final group on Sunday.
