Jordan Speith, only 16-years old, started the final day of the HP Bryon Nelson Invitational just three shots out of the lead.

I’ll ask all of you to let your mind wander back to the time you read “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” (no need for tough guys here, we all know you read it) Our storied protagonist, Harry Potter has the honor of attending the Quidditch World Cup...
