6-year-old SoCal golf prodigy off to hot start in national tourney
At age 6, Jaden Soong of Los Feliz has already made a hole-in-one and is among the leaders this week in a national youth tournament.

We first introduced you to golf prodigy Jaden Soong nearly a year ago, when he was 5 years old and had already landed his first hole-in-one.

Now the 6-year-old is continuing to draw attention for his sweet swing.

The Los Feliz boy is competing this week in the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation world championship in Pinehurst, N.C.

At age 6, Jaden Soong of Van Nuys has already made a hole-in-one and is among the leaders this week in a national youth tournament.

In the first round Thursday he finished tied for fifth in a field of more than 80 boys ages 6 and under, and just four strokes back from the leader. He has two more rounds to go.
