It shouldn't have been a huge surprise for those who follow amateur golf when Drew Kittleson found himself facing Danny Lee in the final match of the 2008 U.S. Amateur at Pinehurst. After all, the Scottsdale native was the top-ranked amateur in the world in 2006 and was twice named an AJGA All-American.
But still, Kittleson was ranked 702nd in the world following the '06 season as he was set to start his freshman season at Florida State University.
The reasons for golfers losing their form are legion. Crises of confidence, swing flaws, injury, but for Kittleson it was a growth spurt that saw him add nearly six inches to his frame. The added height was just too much for his swing to keep up with.
