Keep this name: Nicole Felce. At 9 years old, this little girl from Holiday, Florida, can rewrite the history of one of the greats of women\u2019s golf, the Women\u2019s US Open, and become the youngest player to qualify for it. In 2007, now LPGA Tour professional Lexi Thompson set the record for the youngest player to qualify for the tournament at 12 years, 4 months and 18 days. That record was broken last year by 11-year-old Lucy Li, who posted two rounds of 78 at the tournament in Pinehurst, North Carolina. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a little nervous,\u201d admits the young golfer. \u201cIt would mean a lot to me, I mean God has given me a great talent and I have to take advantage of it. I would be very happy, I would scream with happiness!\u201d <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
