Now, after having a few years to mature, Soong has improved his game and grown his love for the sport.Jaden Soong, a 13-year-old golf prodigy, has advanced from the first round of qualifiers for the upcoming U.S. Open in Los Angeles. Soong needed a handicap of under +1.5 to be one of the 10,000 golfers to make the initial qualifiers, and he has a +1.3 -- or that's what he thinks he has, he said. Then, at the qualifier, Soong placed in the top five there, landing him a spot in Monday's sectional play-in round.
