DETAILED STORY WRITTEN BY FSU SPORTS INFORMATION INTERN TAYLOR CARADONNA Swinging a golf club at just 22 months old was Fletcher Wunderlich’s first glimpse at what was to come in the sport of golf. Born in Colorado and with the help of his two professional-athlete parents, he competed at just four years old and entered into his first US Kids Golf tournament. Upon more competitions and furthering his dedication to the game, the Wunderlich family moved to Ohio for a few years, up until Fletcher began his eighth grade year, where they relocated to Port St. Lucie, Florida. This is when his true talent and capabilities came to light, finally in a place that allowed year-round play, as well as having the opportunities that competitive golf in the Sunshine State provided.
Benson, représentant le club de golf Whitlock à Hudson, n’avait que 26 ans quand il est débarqué en Californie à quelques jours de son premier coup de départ sur le South Course.
Il avait obtenu son ticket en passant d’abord par la qualification locale à Dye Preserve, à Jupiter en Floride. Il était passé à l’étape sectionnelle en gagnant son ticket en prolongation. Et à Old Oaks, près de New York, les astres s’étaient alignés lors de sa seconde ronde de la journée. Terminant au deuxième rang, il avait donc accédé au fameux US Open où il avait rendez-vous avec les grandes stars en banlieue de San Diego.
