THE big sigh said it all - Andy Zhang had just negotiated another nerve-wracking US Open moment with a formal pre-tournament press conference.
"I am shaking a little right now just sitting here," the Beijing-born Zhang said. "I heard Jack Nicklaus was sitting in this chair this morning... So I'm trying to get used to this."
He'll be 14 1/2 years old when he tees off on Thursday and becomes the youngest ever to play in the US Open.
"I never thought I could get here this early," said Zhang, whose father told him just to try hard and enjoy himself in local qualifying.
Travelling to San Francisco, Zhang wondered if it would be OK to ask stars such as Tiger Woods for an autograph. "And I came here and everybody knows me for some reason. Yeah, I'm signing autographs!"
