High schooler Mason Howell wins U.S. Amateur, becomes youngest golfer to win event since 2009
Mason Howell was supposed to be prepping for the second week of his senior year at Brookwood School on Sunday. Instead, he was hoisting a prestigious golf trophy. Howell — a high schooler — took home the win at the U.S. Amateur in dominant fashion Sunday. In doing so, he became the youngest golfer to win the event since 2009 and the third-youngest golfer ever to take home the trophy. Byeong Hun An, who won the event at 17 years old in 2009 and Danny Lee, who picked up a win after just turning 18 in 2008, are the only two golfers younger than Howell to win the event. Howell's win knocked Tiger Woods down to fourth in the ranking. Woods won the U.S. Amateur at 18 years and seven months old in 1994. Howell is 18 years and one-and-half months old. It was an excellent performance by Howell, who defeated teenage golfer Jackson Herrington by a large margin, per the Associated Press. Howell won it with a par to halve the 30th hole, ending the most-lopsided final since Bryson DeChambeau also beat Derek Bard 7 and 6 in 2015. Howell's name might sound familiar to passionate golf fans. After shooting a 63-63 at the Atlanta sectional, he qualified for the U.S. Open in 2025. He didn't make the cut at the event, but it was an impressive performance for someone still in high school. The U.S. Amateur marked the first time since 2013 that two teenagers played in the final. Herrington, who finished second to Howell on Sunday, is 19. He'll start his sophomore year at the University of Tennessee soon. As for Howell, he'll celebrate the win by ... actually starting his senior year of high school. Brookwood School started its school year last week, when Howell was taking part in the tournament. He'll start the school year a little later than expected, but will have one heck of story to tell his classmates. Once he graduates, Howell is slated to attend the University of Georgia in 2026.

2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions
2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions The PGA Tour is in Texas this week for the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson, which is hosted by TPC Craig Ranch. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is in the field as the heavy favorite, with Texas' own Jordan Spieth also teeing it up. Below, we look at CJ Cup Byron Nelson odds from BetMGM Sportsbook's odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions. In addition to Texas natives Scheffler and Spieth, Sungjae Im, Byeong Hun An and 2024 champion Taylor Pendrith are also playing this week at TPC Craig Ranch. Will Zalatoris and Tom Kim are other big names in the field as they look to claim the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. TPC Craig Ranch is a par 72 and plays at 7,414 yards long. It's a course that yields low scores each year, with the winner finishing between 23-under and 26-under in the last 4 years. Pendrith won with a score of 23-under last year after Jason Day finished 23-under to win in 2023, as well; Day is not in the field this year, however. WATCH: Get ESPN+ CJ Cup Byron Nelson – Expert picks Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 11:12 p.m. ET. Byeong Hun An (+2200) An has played this event the last 2 years and finished 14th and fourth. After tying for 21st at the Masters, he came in 38th at the RBC Heritage. For a course that typically yields a lot of birdies and lessens the need for accuracy off the tee, An should be a good fit once again this year after 2 encouraging finishes. Stephan Jaeger (+3500) Jaeger has played here in the last 3 years, with his best finish being an 11th-place showing in 2023. He also came in 38th in 2022 and 20th last year, so he's gotten familiar with TPC Craig Ranch. CJ Cup Byron Nelson picks – Contenders Nicolai Hojgaard (+5500) After starting the year strong, Hojgaard has missed the cut in each of his last 4 individual events. However, he may have gotten on track in the Zurich Classic alongside his twin brother Rasmus. They finished alone in second, only 1 shot off the lead. This is his tournament debut but it's a fairly simply course, so experience isn't a huge deal. Jake Knapp (+5500) Knapp came in eighth in his tournament debut last year and will look to improve on that this week. For a guy who can get wild with his driver, the forgiveness of TPC Craig Ranch bodes well for him. Not to mention, he and Frankie Capan III finished third at the Zurich Classic on Sunday. This is a good time to buy some stock in Knapp. CJ Cup Byron Nelson picks – Long shots Michael Thorbjornsen (+6600) The 23-year-old Thorbjornsen is trending up with finishes of second at the Corales Puntacana Championship and fourth at the Zurich Classic alongside Karl Vilips. He's never played this event before, but his game is in great form so it may not matter much. Rico Hoey (+8000) Hoey missed the cut in his first trip to TPC Craig Ranch last year. He had a strong stretch this March where he finished between 25th and 33rd in 3 straight starts before alternating missed cuts and top-12s in his last 5 starts.
