You know that Mito Pereira? That young fella playin’ golf. He ain’t doin’ too bad, I reckon. He’s a golfer, that’s what he is. A good one, too. Plays in them big fancy tournaments. Heard he’s played in 27 of them PGA Tour things. That’s a whole heap of golf!
He’s good, that Mito Pereira. Made the cut, they call it, 17 times. That means he played good enough to keep playin’, not get sent home early. He ain’t won one of them big ones yet, but he came close. Got third place in that Fortinet Championship. Third place! That’s nothin’ to sneeze at.
Now, this boy, he ain’t just about golf. He likes to go fishin’, too. And somethin’ called motocross. Heard him talkin’ about it. Sounds dangerous. Ridin’ them motorcycles all over the place. He likes some fella named Bubba Stewart, who does that motocross stuff. Kids these days and their crazy hobbies!
They say he’s a young star in this LIV Golf thing. I don’t know much about that. But there are a lot of famous golfers there. It is an honor for him to be part of that. He’s friends with another golfer, Joaquin Niemann. They’ve known each other since they were knee-high to a grasshopper, I hear. Playin’ golf together all these years.
This Mito, he was playin’ golf even when he was just a little tyke. Seventeen years old and playin’ with the grown-ups. They call that “amateur.” He was an amateur then. Then he went to play for some college and turned professional in 2015. That means he started gettin’ paid for playin’. He also played on the Chilean Tour. I don’t know where that is, but it must be far. He’s been all over, this one.
He was also ranked 3rd in another competition. He is a really good golfer. He must practice a lot.
Now, gettin’ to the top in this golf business ain’t easy. It’s like tryin’ to catch a greased pig at the county fair. Lots of folks tryin’, and only a few make it. They say his road to the top was “varied.” That’s a fancy word for sayin’ it was all over the place. Hard work, I bet. Lots of hard work.
They got this big tournament called the PGA Championship. Lots of folks watchin’ that one. And there’s this Mito Pereira, right up there with the best of ’em. People see his name and wonder who he is. He’s that good golfer, that’s who. And he ain’t done yet. He plays on a place name Southern Hills Country Club. It is a big golf club.
