6 year old Filipina "Tiger Woods"

This past summer, Filipina-American Amari Avery became the champion for the 6 and under division at the 2010 Callaway Junior World Golf Championships, the San Diego Junior Masters and the Future Champions Golf World Championship.

This 6 year old golf prodigy has been playing since she was 3 and is already being compared to golf's living legend, Tiger Woods. Along with growing up in Riverside,Ca, Amari and Tiger share the same birthday(Dec.30) and their first "Hole-in-one" at the same golf course. Amari is also half African-American and her father nicknamed her "Tigress".

You can watch Amari here in this video where she was featured on the Golf Channel series, "Golf in America".
