During the past two times at Augusta National, San Diego State men’s golf alum Xander Schauffele finished tied for second in 2019 and tied for 17th last November for the Masters.
It was the first time ever the Masters was played that late into the calendar year.
Now Schauffele, who is ranked No. 6 according to the Official World Golf Rankings, is about to begin his fourth Masters in a more traditional setting, compared to the tournament five months ago when No. 1 Dustin Johnson scored -20 to win.
“Two completely different Masters, obviously, last one being in November and the one in a normal calendar,” Schauffele said in his Tuesday afternoon press conference.
