TOKYO -- Ryo Ishikawa has simple goals. The 16-year-old wants to get good grades, improve his distance off the tee and one day win the Masters. Playing with Tiger Woods wouldn't be bad, either.
Ishikawa, who last year became the youngest winner of a Japanese men's tour event, announced Thursday he was turning pro and immediately set high standards for himself.
"I want to play with Tiger Woods in the future and win the Masters," he said at a news conference.
Ishikawa was an amateur in May when he won the Munsingwear Open KSB Cup, making him the youngest winner of a Japanese men's event. According to the Japan PGA, Ishikawa now is the youngest pro in Japanese golf history.
