MILES RUSSELL

Miles Russell, 17, will be the youngest player from the First Coast area to compete in a men’s professional golf major. Miles Russell is the youngest player in the 2026 U.S. Open field at just 17 years old. A young man who has been driving a car for less than two years teeing it up in a major championship is a tough reality to grasp, and, understandably so, the Florida State commit’s story heading into Shinnecock Hills has been a popular one in the build-up to Thursday’s opening round.

Russell, the No. 1 junior player in the world, opted for a formal press conference on Wednesday ahead of what will be his first start in a major championship. In a rather predictable fashion, he almost immediately made everyone in the golf world feel incredibly old.
