Golfing
world at his feet

10-year-old Karl Vilips talks about defending his world title in the US later
this year

AS Aussie golfers struggle to win in the US, we've been forced to lower
their horizons. To 146cm.

Thankfully, Karl Vilips, 10, is packing a game far bigger than his frame as
he prepares to defend his world junior championship at Pinehurst in North
Carolina.

Vilips, who has a cult online following, has won two world titles in the
age-specific US Kids World Championship. He and father Paul jet out late this
month for specialist coaching in California.

Vilips, whose YouTube page gets 9000 hits a month, mostly from the US and
Britain, has set his sights high.

He hammers his driver past 200m and has a handicap of seven - however, he
doesn't covet the US Masters or the British Open.

"No. The Players Championship ... because it's worth the most money," he said
with a wicked grin.
