Follow up:14 year old Guan Tianlang, of China gets detention, but still makes the cut at the Masters - youngest to play since 1865.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The 14-year-old from China isn’t going anywhere in a hurry. And this Masters is still a long way from taking shape.

Despite being the first player at Augusta National to get hit with a one-shot penalty for slow play, teen sensation Guan Tianlang still made history Friday as the youngest player to make the cut in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event.

And it came down to the last shot of a wild and windy day.

Jason Day could have sent the kid home early with a birdie from just off the front of the green on the 18th hole. But the Australian was wide left and tapped in for par, giving him a 4-under 68 and a one-shot lead over fellow Aussie Marc Leishman and the ageless Fred Couples.

The par meant that Guan, who had one shot added to his score on the 17th hole for his second bad time of the round — made the cut under the 10-shot rule.

‘‘If I can make it, I would be really happy for it,’’ Guan said some five hours earlier. ‘‘But if I didn’t make it, it’s still a great week.’’

Guan, playing with Matteo Manassero and Ben Crenshaw, was informed his group was out of position as it left the 10th green. They were on the clock on the 12th hole, meaning players would be timed to make sure they hit their shots within the 40-second limit. The teen got his first bad time with his second shot on the 13th hole, and it was clear he was in trouble after his shot into the 17th when John Paramor, chief referee in Europe, walked out to speak to him.

‘‘You give him the news, the best you can,’’ Paramor said.

Fred Ridley, the head of competition at the Masters, did not say how long Guan took to hit his second shot on the 17th, only that it was a ‘‘considerable margin’’ over his time. Guan still managed to make par on the 17th, and if he was shaken by the news so late in the round, it didn’t show. He made one last par and was at 4-over 148.

His game is well beyond his years, and so was his attitude over the first slow-play penalty in a major since Gregory Bourdy in the 2010 PGA Championship.

‘‘I respect the decision they make,’’ said Guan, who spent nearly 90 minutes talking with officials after the round. ‘‘They should do it because it’s fair to everybody.’’
