Cohen Trolio (LSU commit that graduates in 2021) made it to round of 8 after winning 5&4.

He won his quarterfinal match 3&1. Faces fellow Mississippian Ogletree in the semifinals this afternoon

Update: lost in semifinals 3&1 to Ogletree



His dad, VJ, is a putting guru at Old Waverly and developed the putting arc.

He won the qualifier at Reunion to make the field

He was also known for averaging 269 off the tee in 1999 and shooting 82/82 at Annandale in his only PGA Tour event, kidding aside he knows his shite and his kid is a stick.

There is another kid on that list that LSU had on campus for a visit but kid gave verbal to Stanford.

Can’t blame the kid but wish he was heading to Baton Rouge.

Great kid and family I worked with his dad and Tim Yelverton during the summers in high school.

While VJ surely knows putting as he developed the putting arc. He’s more of a full swings coach and Tim does the short game teaching. Tim is Kevin Kisner’s short game coach.

It’s pretty wild that in West Point, MS there are two top 100 golf instructors and two top 100 courses right next to each other. A lot of good golfers are starting to come out of the area.

2 of the final 8 are from Mississippi. Ogletree is from Little Rock, MS which isn’t too far from Meridian. He plays at GA Tech

So he's 15 or 16 in the top 8 in the US Am? Yikes

I can't imagine the pressure. He's got a very legit shot of qualifying for the masters. I think it's the winner and runner up of the us am that get masters invites.

Also, would like to note that Cohen's grandmother (V.J's mother) passed away last week. I'm sure it's going to be an emotional day for them.

We thought that an LSU tiger wouldn’t be playing for a spot in the masters this weekend when Sam got injured, we were wrong.

We played a lot together in high school, he made people wonder where the hell is Simpson Academy he would shoot in the 60’s and no one else on his high school team would break 100
