Michigan State’s own James Piot won the 2021 United States Amateur Championship. One of the perks that came along with winning the U.S. Amateur is getting an exemption into the Masters Tournament. Piot is looking to place well in the tournament amongst the game’s best players but is also looking to receive the highest honors an amateur can receive at the Masters by scoring the best amongst the amateurs.
Piot’s tee time has been announced for the Thursday round at the Masters. Piot will be teeing off at 10:45 a.m. in group 15 alongside defending champion Hideki Matsuyama and the world’s No. 7 player Justin Thomas.
Good company.
