Hak Confirms Georgia Tech Enrolment

Jason Hak has signed a letter-of-intent to play his college golf at Georgia Tech, one of America's standout golfing universities.

Hak, who was born in Hong Kong and who currently resides in Florida, is the No 1-ranked junior golfer in the United States and the 29th-ranked player in the world. The 18-year-old, who represents Hong Kong internationally, first rose to attention in 2008 when he became the youngest golfer in European Tour history to make a tournament cut after achieving the feat at that year's Hong Kong Open. Jason Hak

"He's played at a level the last two or three years that is as impressive as anyone we've ever had in the programme," said Georgia Tech head coach Bruce Heppler of Hak, who will enrol in classes for the college's second summer session and be eligible to play this fall. "He's a great kid. He loves playing, loves practicing, and he really wants to go to school at Georgia Tech."

Hak will be following in the footsteps of major winners David Duval, Larry Mize and Stewart Cink, who all played golf at Georgia Tech. The most famous alumnus of the golf programme however remains legendary amateur Bobby Jones, winner of the Grand Slam in 1930 and the founder of Augusta National Golf Club.
