Big weekend for young golfers

Two of the 'Next Big Thing' golfers hit it big over the weekend. Aussie Adam Scott held on to win the Houston Shell Open, and 18-year-old Morgan Pressel became the youngest to win an LPGA major.

In a sport where fans are always looking for the next great golfer (aka, someone to regularly battle established stars like Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam), we may have finally gotten a glimpse into the future.

Scott, currently ranked fifth in the world, has finally started to shake off some of the rust from his recent hiatus from the TOUR. He was able to grind out a win despite hitting his final tee shot into the water.

Pressel, who graduated from high school just months ago, has shown an amazing amount of talent since stepping into the spotlight. However, she's just one of the many young guns that have become competitive on the ladies circuit.
