Hopefully it\u2019s something he\u2019ll remember for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russell had Charlie Woods, Tiger Woods\u2019 son and his future teammate at Florida State, carrying the bag for him when he advanced to the U.S. Open through a 36-hole qualifying tournament earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Ramon Bescansa was on the bag for Russell at Shinnecock Hills \u2014 but only for 71 1\/2 holes.<\/p>\n<p>As Russell walked toward the 18th green, Bescansa turned toward the ropes and found Joe Russell.

Joe Russell was not aware of the plan.<\/p>\n<p>Miles Russell smiled widely as his father caught up to him and they walked up to the green.<\/p>\n<p>Russell tapped in for par to finish off an even-par 70 in the final round. After becoming the second-youngest male amateur since World War II to play the weekend at the U.S. Open, he finished at 7 over for the tournament while being paired the final two rounds with fellow amateur Jackson Koivun, who led Auburn to two NCAA championships and is about to turn pro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a pretty special week,\u201d Russell said. \u201cJust to be here was really special, and to make the cut was kind of bonus points.
