Cheyenne Woods Will Get Quite The Reception When She Goes Pro

The golf world has been waiting for what seems like eons for Tiger Woods to re-establish the dominance he once had over the field.

For now, we must be content with a stirring surge he commanded on the last day of the 2011 Masters. He came up short while still providing some exciting moments. I'll take it.

The next great Woods moment may not even come from Tiger himself, it may be the coming out party for his niece Cheyenne Woods.

The Internet was a buzz this week after Cheyenne took home the ACC title in epic form. She finished five under 208. That was good enough to trounce the next best golfer. North Carolina junior Allie White finished in second place, seven strokes behind.

Now that's the type of dominance I am talking about. She sounded a bit like her uncle after the tournament as well.

Today, I really felt confident all day and knew I could hit the shots that I wanted to. That was important on this course because the greens are so slick that you have to land the ball in the right spots.

Woods is a junior at Wake Forrest. For now, she is content to hone her game before graduating and hitting the LPGA Tour. If the recent media frenzy surrounding her is any indication, she is in store for quite a reception when she goes pro.

It is dangerous to compare her to Tiger Woods at this stage. Tiger is one of the greatest golfers to ever live. However, the excitement following her after her college days are over may be the most we have seen for any female golfer.

She looks poised and ready. I can't wait to see how she fares under the intense pressure of a professional Tour.
