Victory at Valero Texas Open in San Antonio on Sunday gets him invitation to Augusta this week
As a 6-year-old kid at Arroyo Seco Golf Course, a par-3 track in South Pasadena, standing over a 6-foot putt in the long afternoon shadows and imagining it was for the Masters championship.
His wife and 18-month-old daughter were with him and — new parents think about these things — didn’t want to tempt fate by messing with her sleeping schedule. They’d go Monday morning. By Monday afternoon, he was teeing it up at the par-4, 445-yard first hole, cutting his drive around the majestic Georgia pines that frame the dogleg right. Was this really happening. Was this a dream?
“But I think losing my card was the best thing that happened to me last year. … I think that’s kind of what I needed, maybe. It wasn’t a lack of effort or being lazy with my game or anything. It was kind of a switch that needed to be flipped. Maybe it was something with confidence that I needed to find once again.
Spaun rescued his tour card at the Korn Ferry Finals and has made a rapid ascension up the global rankings, to his current 103rd. He started driving it longer again. A consistency and calm returned to his game as well.
