What makes the Masters so special for you?
It’s the one event I always watched as a kid. Growing up in Georgia, that’s how it is. If you grow up in Chicago and you’re into basketball. Growing up in Georgia, four hours away from Augusta, the Masters is it.
Do you have any stand-out memories of the event, playing or watching?
I started watching during Tiger’s heyday, when he won his first one in 1997. It was the tournament that you always watched, especially as a kid. I would go home after school and be glued to the TV, and then go to the golf course and watch it.
What are your hopes for this year?
The thing I’m looking forward to the most is being on the highest stage and playing one of the best golf courses in the world. If you win that tournament your name is etched in history forever, so it’s really cool to even be a part of it and have a chance to win.
What’s the key to winning the Masters?
I think the course sets up for me. They talk about it being a right-to-left course and I don’t really move the ball right to left, but I feel like the holes where I need to hit it right to left I can use my 3-wood to my advantage. It’s a really good driver’s course.
