And Then There Were 80: Drive, Chip & Putt Finalists Set
/G.C. Digital posts the full list of 80 youngsters who will drive, chip and putt at Augusta National the Sunday prior to the 2016 Masters.
The list includes the notable venues where each player qualified. Most are former major venues.
As for the field, I'm already looking forward to hearing those grow-the-game, all-in-on-DCP, tears of joy from proud uncle John Feinstein.
From Andrew Blair's report on the Congressional qualifier.
Brian Feinstein of McLean, Va., paced the Boys’ 14-15 Division. In windy conditions, he blasted one of his drives 250-plus yards en route to accumulating 56 points.
His story is one of determination and perseverance. Feinstein was an alternate after local qualifying, but a spot opened up at the sub-regional at the River Bend Club, his home course in northern Virginia. There, he finished second to advance to Congressional. Now he’s headed to the hallowed grounds at Augusta National.
“It’s never been a thought besides going to watch the Masters,” said Feinstein, the nephew of award-winning golf writer John Feinstein.
