British golfers learning on the course rather than going to college

Tyrrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood have more in common than their nationality and profession. They are the only golfers in that ever-expanding 30-and-under age division of the world’s top 50 who did not go to college. Some would think that to be a dubious distinction and that if the pair, as elite amateurs, had the chance of a scholarship then, from a wider perspective, it might have been wiser to accept. Yet the reality is nowhere near that simple and points to a burgeoning trend in Britains best youngsters eschewing the myth of “an education” on those perfectly manicured United States fairways and instead taking everything formative that England Golf has to offer before essentially learning on the job. This route clearly did no harm to the world’s No 10 (Hatton) and No 16 (Fleetwood), who will be fronting up to the frat boys at the Masters on Thursday. But with the past 10 major winners on US soil all hailing from America and all having attended a US college, the odds are obviously against the Englishmen. Of course, Hatton and Fleetwood will not be the only UK pros in the season’s final major without the pretentious “alma mater” on their CV. Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Justin Rose are the trio of St George veterans who went straight to the paid ranks, while Rory McIlroy famously snubbed a queue of universities to enrol in the European Tour’s early earning centre, racking up millions as a teenager.
