The Loop

One of our own, Drew Powell, won the Masters media lottery and had the opportunity to play Augusta National the day after Rory McIlroy’s incredible win. He details his round, the shots that shocked him the most and describes what it’s like to be (almost) late for the tee time of a lifetime. Alex, Steve and CP also recap a crazy finish at Harbour Town, praise Joel Dahmen for speaking to the media after a crushing defeat and shout out a five-time tour winner for DQ-ing himself.
