Photos: Miles Russell, 15, becomes youngest to make cut on Korn Ferry Tour at Lecom Suncoast Classic 2024

Miles Russell, 15, is already a decorated amateur golfer. But after two rounds of the Korn Ferry Tour’s Lecom Suncoast Classic at Lakewood National Golf Club in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, he’s made history.

After rounds of 68-66, Russell is now the youngest player ever to make a cut on the Korn Ferry Tour.

On Friday, Russell made two eagles on his front nine, one at the par-4 fourth and another at the par-5 ninth. Once he made the turn, he birdied Nos. 10 and 11 before a bogey at 13.

His second-round 5-under 66 has him tied for 26th after 36 holes and six shots back of the lead held by Brandon Crirk at 14 under.

Check out some of the best photos of Russell’s historic week below.
