Several El Pasoans recently made the trip to Augusta, Ga., to watch the practice rounds for the Masters Tournament, which starts today. Arthur Flores, Clint Lee and Bryan Lee came back with some amazing photos to share with local golfing fanatics. “The waiting list to go to the Masters tournament closed 10 years ago. We got lucky and got four tickets to the practice round, which is chosen by lottery," Flores said.
From the Masters Tournament Website (link at bottom of article): "The tournament consists of four-day stroke playing of 18 holes each day, instead of the then-customary 36 holes on the third day, eliminating qualifying rounds, and denying permission for anyone except the player and caddie to be in the playing area. A complementary pairing sheet and a spectator booklet were provided, and commercialization in any form of the Tournament was limited."
