AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) --- Maybe gift shopping really is out of control at the
Masters.
Xander Schauffele's tee shot on the par-5 eighth hole Thursday at Augusta
National appeared to come to rest in somebody's merchandise bag, just a few
feet to the left of the fairway. Schauffele used a tee to mark the spot,
removed the ball and then handed off the bag to a woman in a pink and white
outfit.
He was able to play on without penalty and made par.
Schauffele finished the front nine in 1 under, but he had his shaky moments.
His tee shot on the par-4 ninth ended up in some pine straw and his second shot
found a bunker. Then he splashed out to within inches of the hole.
