Golf Fans Bothered By Personal Question Asked to 15-Year-Old Miles Russell After PGA Tour Debut

While many teenagers were enjoying their summer vacations, 15-year-old golfer Miles Russell spent June preparing for his PGA Tour debut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. Despite feeling some nerves over his opening tee shot on Thursday, Russell shot a respectable first-round score of 74 (2-over par) in his debut on the PGA Tour.

Following his round, Russell faced the media with poise, but he encountered some unexpectedly personal questions. One reporter pointed out, “You’re the only player in the field without your height and weight listed on the PGA Tour app. What is your current height and weight?” After responding, Russell was asked another odd question: “What’s your waist size?” This line of questioning puzzled golf fans, with many expressing their disapproval. One fan commented, “This is genuinely weird,” while another called it “a bizarre set of questions.”

Despite the unusual media interaction, Russell rebounded with an impressive 2-under-par 70 on Friday. Unfortunately, he missed the weekend cut by three shots. Nevertheless, it seems likely that Russell will soon make his second PGA Tour start.

Meanwhile, Aaron Rai and Akshay Bhatia lead the Rocket Mortgage Classic with scores of 17-under-par heading into Sunday’s final round. Although Russell fell short of making it to the weekend, his debut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club has left a mark, hinting at a promising future in professional golf.
