An amateur golfer got the shock of his life when he received an invitation to play in the Masters Tournament.
Scott Stallings had been checking the mail for a Masters Innovation for some time. Having reached the Tour Championship in 2022, the final event of the PGA Tour season, Stallings qualified for a spot in the field at Augusta National in April.
After checking his mailbox “five times a day”. Stallings received an unexpected message from a different Scott Stallings via Twitter.
“Hi Scott. My name is Scott Stallings as well and I’m from GA.” the man wrote. “My wife’s name is Jennifer too!”
“I received a FedEx today from the Masters inviting me to play in the Masters Tournament April 6-9, 2023. I’m 100% sure this is NOT for me. I play but wow! No where near your level.”
Literally had been checking the mailbox five times a day and then I got this random DM yesterday
