The people who have come out to watch the Masters feel like they are being treated to a unique experience in witnessing Guan and his historic run.

"When you get somebody like this making it through to Sunday at the Masters that can't hurt golf in China," Mark Turner, of New York, said.

"He's two years older than my son, I have a 12-year-old, so it's amazing for me to think two years difference. I couldn't even imagine it."

Others watching at Augusta and seeing what Guan is doing, can't help but wish him well for the future.

"He's outstanding," Terry Thurston said. Thurston lives in Spartanburg, South Carolina, which is only a couple hours drive from Augusta. "We just wish him the best. I hope he's going to be another Jack Nicklaus."

Come Sunday night in Butler Cabin, Guan will receive the Silver Cup for top amateur, as Nicklaus did in 1960.
