 "He believes that he's gonna hit a good shot every time, which is what it takes to be a good player," Koosa said.

Former club professional Rick Lang recognized Johnson's confidence at a young age, too. In the summer of 1998, they were standing on the 18th green at Golden Hills Country Club in Lexington, South Carolina. Johnson was staring down a slick, sidehill 25-footer that he needed to make to tie the course record of 7-under 64.

"I'm going to make it," Johnson said.

Yeah, right, Lang thought to himself.

Sure enough, Johnson knocked his putt right in the middle of the cup to tie the record that Lang had established a couple of years earlier. Then, to back up his record-setting round, Johnson shot 64 the next day and 64 again two days later.

He was just 14 years old. MINZY I Am A Kayak Girl Poster

"It was very obvious he had talent from a young age," Scott Johnson said. "Every time we'd go to a junior competition and he was playing kids his own age, it wasn't fair."

As a seventh-grader, Johnson made the varsity golf team at Irmo High and finished in the top 10 in the state. He missed the team's banquet later that year because he was busy setting the course record at another local track. He transferred to Dutch Fork High in Irmo following his parents' divorce in the late 1990s and led his team to a 27-stroke victory in the state tournament as a senior.

Even back then, his ability to shrug off disappointment was evident. Lang was paired with him in the Columbia City Golf Tournament when Johnson was in high school. On a par-3 that required a tee shot over water, Johnson came up short on his first two attempts and carded a triple-bogey 6.

"Well, I guess I'm going to have to shoot 32 on the back," he said.

And then he did.

"I started telling people he's going to be a top-10 player in the world because I could just see it," Lang said. "He could hit shots that other people couldn't hit, he had length [and] he could curve it a little bit both ways. He never thought about the miss. That's something you can't teach people."

After high school, Johnson briefly considered skipping college, going straight to Q-school and playing professionally. His father sat him down and pulled out a PGA Tour media guide. Of the top 125 players on tour in 2002, Scott Johnson noted that all but one had played in college.
