I wonder if he will carry on in his father's footsteps?

I honestly don't think he's a huge prospect in the amateur golfing world, compared to his dad at least. He's currently the 621st ranked amateur golfer in the world. As a freshman this year, he's only competed in one event for the Arkansas golf team, finishing in 49th place in an early season tournament in October. If you compare Little John to his dad, big John (according to the Arkansas media guide) played for Arkansas from 1985-1988. He was an All-American for Arkansas in the 1986-1987 season, qualified for the US Open as an amateur in 1986, and finished T16th at the NCAA Championships in the 1985-1986 season. Big John's Wikipedia page says he was at Arkansas beginning in 1984, so maybe he redshirted, not sure. But comparing Little John to Big John, Little John has a lot of ground to make up.
