Martin Laird His Wins Way Into The Masters
/Dex McLuskey on the clutch performance of Martin Laird winning the Valero Texas Open to get into the Masters.
“I’ve been asked probably 30 times in the last couple of weeks, ‘Are you in Augusta?’” Laird said in a televised interview. “Every time I said ‘no’ it kind of hurt me a little bit. So that was my major motivation trying to get back into tournaments like that.”
Laird, a 30-year-old Scot, is the first non-American to win on the PGA Tour in 15 events this season. He began today five shots behind third-round leader Billy Horschel, who tied Jim Furyk and Charley Hoffman for third place at 11-under.
