Belly putter weilding Chinese teenage sensation Guan Tianlang is certain to come under extra scutiny next week when he tees up in the Emirates Australian Open at the Lake Course in Sydney.

Guan, 14, captured the recent Asian Amateur title to guarantee him a place in next year’s Masters and Open Championship.

He will be the youngest player ever to tee-up at Augusta.

Guan Tianlang wins 2012 Asian Amateur and now contesting the 2012 Emirates Airline Australian Open next week in Sydney.

However this week Guan will be paired with his hero Liang Wenchong in the first round of the Ryder Cup-style team event at the CTS Tycoon Club in Shenzhen from November 30 to December 2.

The pair will take on Asia-Pacific team top seeds Andre Stolz, the reigning OneAsia Order of Merit champion, and fellow Australian Scott Laycock in Friday’s opening fourball match, the first of six pairings.

“I had an inkling they’d do that,” said Asia-Pacific team captain Peter Thomson, the legendary Australian with five Open Championship titles to his credit as well as a place in world golf’s Hall of Fame.

“He is rapidly becoming a very important young man in the world of golf. It is a baptism by fire, but will be very interesting.”

Guan burst onto the world golf stage in April at the OneAsia co-sanctioned Volvo China Open, when at just 13 he became the youngest player ever to start in a professional tournament.

He won the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in Thailand earlier this month to earn his place at the Masters, following in the footsteps of fellow Chinese teenager Andy Zhang, who at 14 earlier this year became the youngest player ever to take part in the U.S. Open.
