In 2021, Grinberg advanced to the final stage of qualifying for the U.S. Open, and he would have become the youngest player to feature in a men’s major championship.
However, his second round was suspended due to weather and Grinberg subsequently withdrew to compete at a junior tournament in Florida.
China’s Guan Tianlang holds the Tour record for the youngest to make the cut, when on 12th April, 2013, and at age 14 years and 169 days old when he made the cut in the 2013 Masters at Augusta National
Prior to that Italian Matteo Manassero held the record at 16 years and 11 months and 22 days.
