AUGUSTA, Ga. – It’s the putt everyone grows up wanting to make. Well, almost.
Hovering over a 15-foot putt, Ty Griggs knew it was his last and only chance to win the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals on Sunday at Augusta National.
There wasn’t a green jacket waiting on the other end at Augusta National’s 18th green, but for a 13-year-old who aspires to be a professional golfer, it was the next best thing.
Griggs’ putt, which needed to nestle to about a half foot to secure the Manteca, Calif., eighth grader the title in the 12-13 Boys division, dropped into the cup to complete what he called a dream come true.
