Sam Bennett may have found some struggles on Saturday and Sunday at Augusta, but it doesn’t take away from what was a very memorable weekend for the Texas A&M amateur golfer. After shooting -4 on both Thursday and Friday (landing him in 3rd place heading into the weekend), Bennett shot +4 in round three and +2 in round four to finish the tournament at -2.
But that finish was still good enough to be crowned the “Low Amateur” (the award given to the best Amateur player at The Masters), as well as 16th overall in a field of professionals that began with more than 80 players a few days earlier.
