He's only 12-years-old and he's already getting the chance to shine on the biggest stage of them all.
Russell's Dru Mushumanski is en route to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for the Amateur World Long Drive Golf Championships that kick off tomorrow.
"It's really exciting, and I can't wait for the event," added Mushumanski. "I've been working really hard preparing for it. It's been a fun ride for sure."
Dru earned his spot at the World Championships when he smashed the competition at a qualifier earlier in July.
When chatting with Dru in July, he said his expectations were to finish in the Top-5, but after a long hard couple weeks of preparing, he's changed them a little bit.
"I'm pretty confident that I'm going to do pretty well," said Mushumanski. "I think I have what it takes to make the Top-3."
Because of the hefty prices of flights to South Carolina, the Mushumanski's hit the road for a family trip, which gives Dru the chance to see even more states than he already has.
"It's been really fun just travelling around," he added. "It's pretty awesome seeing all these big cities that I haven't before."
When the 12-year-old heads to the tee-box tomorrow, he knows there will be some pressure on himself to perform well, but he knows his dad and family is right by his side.
"I really just need to stay calm," said Mushumanski. "My dad always helps with that as well."
"It's really nice to have my entire family here cheering me on," he added. "It's an experience I won't ever forget."
