DeMatha junior Jerrell Parrish will be the first African American to compete in the Euro Junior Golf Cup, a Ryder Cup-style international competition in St. Andrew’s, Scotland.
Just because Tiger Woods is the only black on tour and Parrish is well, the only black usually competing in golf (which is rather sad), Parrish hates the Tiger comparisons.
“To be honest, that does get a little old,” said Parrish, a resident of Glenn Dale. “I am a Tiger Woods fan. But he’s not the only player I like.”
And apparently, Jerrell is the baby. "Older brother, DaLawn Parrish, a football standout at Wake Forest, is head coach at Henry Wise High in Upper Marlboro."
