Sam Bennett has already recorded an incredible week at The Masters. He’s not only beaten the cut line but also stands just 4 strokes off the lead heading into Saturday.
Conditions at Augusta National have not been great to start the weekend with heavy rain and winds contributing to downed trees on the course. Saturday’s 3rd-round conditions are not expected to be much better with more rain in the forecast.
To get in as much golf as possible, The Masters has announced threesomes and split tee times on the 1st and 10th tees. As a result, Bennett has landed in the final group hitting the first tee and will golf alongside some of the biggest names in the sport.
Bennett will be in a group with Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm with a tee time set for 1:06 pm ET. Koepka currently leads the pack at -12, Rahm stands at -10 and Bennett is at -8 entering the 3rd round.
