Second Masters Question: What Does A Double Eagle Ball Get You?
/Tracey McManus with the story of Wayne Mitchell, who Louis Oosthuizen tossed his double eagle ball to.
“He caught my eye and threw it to me,” Mitchell said.
A quiet day at the Masters became a whirlwind. Patrons across the course were talking about the man who caught Oosthuizen’s ball. Journalists and photographers swarmed Mitchell, and a huddle of Augusta National Golf Club members arrived in a golf cart to escort him to the clubhouse.
“I came here anonymous and I don’t feel so anonymous,” Mitchell said.
Two questions actually: What do you think the club gave him for the ball, and can we have a caption for that strange sight of a member hooking Mitchell?
