A Look at the Amateurs to Play in Masters the Last 10 Years
AUGUSTA, GA (March 30, 2017) -- As we begin
to
gear up for the 2017 Masters here at
AmateurGolf.com we decided to take a bit of a
trip
down memory lane. With five amateurs set to
make
their Masters appearance next week we decided
to
take a look back at all the amateurs that have
teed
it up at Augusta National in the last 10 years.
The best amateur finish in that time period
came last year when Bryson DeChambeau
finished tied for 21st. During
the 10 year time frame a
total
of 54 amateurs have played in the event with
just
nine players making the cut.
Over that same frame the only amateur to
make the cut twice was Hideki Matsuyama in
2011 when he finished as low amateur and 2012.
There were four years where no amateurs made
the cut, one year where three made the cut, one
where two made the cut and four where one
player made the cut.
