per Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Golf + .  I'm going to end up being a bit verbose for a "weak" call, because I think the subject might end up notable someday, but the claims in the article itself don't seem to show notability despite the number of citations and other very hard efforts to show notability, and that's why I suspect this subject isn't going to get above a certain level (below notability) for now.  This article seems to still be an article about a guy who just isn't quite there yet as far as Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Golf.  Dousing it in inspirational happy talk about hope, and being theoretically just as good as big winners, and teammates thinking someone is special, and being really really proud of one's own genetic pool, etc., doesn't make a person notable.  Specific claims to fame in this article
— NONE, NONE
