Friday was several shots better than the rest of the field. Schenk was the model of consistency for his four rounds at Augusta National. He recorded 47 pars, 13 bogeys, and 12 birdies, without a single double bogey. A very impressive achievement, especially for any player making his debut at the Masters. In the final round, one of Schenk’s most impressive and memorable shots was a 55-foot putt for a birdie on the par-three 12th hole. It was the longest converted putt by any player in the fourth round. Throughout the four-day tournament, Schenk’s best holes were the par-five second and par-four third, playing each hole in a combined two-underpar. As for his four-day play at Amen Corner, holes 11, 12, and 13, he was a combined one-over par. By comparison, to share and enjoy this year’s Masters. Based on his performance this year, finishing in a 12th place tie, he earned $405,000 and an automatic invitation to play in the Masters Tournament next year. One of Schenk’s Indiana-based sponsors is the French Lick Resort. Notes from The Masters This year’s Masters marked the 40th and final appearance by sportscaster Verne Lundquist, a part of the CBS broadcast team. Tiger Woods set a new Masters record with 24 consecutive made cuts at the Masters and his fourth round on Sunday marked his 100th round played at the Masters Tournament. Scottie Scheffler, the winner of this year’s Masters Tournament, received $3.6 million for his first-place finish. He is the No. 1 ranked player in the world and this was his third win in his last four PGA Tour starts. Scottie Scheffler, who won this year’s Masters, played Amen Corner in two-under par. Another big key to success at the Masters is how you score on the four par-five holes. He was a combined two-underpar on the four par-five holes. By comparison, Scheffler was nine-under-par on the four parfive holes for the four rounds. Schenk finished at one-over par, 12 shots behind Scheffler’s winning total. Schenk qualified for this year’s Masters based on his four top-25 finishes worldwide this year, which included a fifthplace tie at the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio in early April and a tie for 19th at The PLAYERS Championship in March. Last April, he and his wife Kourtney became parents to their first child, a son, Adam Cole Schenk, Jr. (AJ). Both Kourtney and AJ were in Augusta
