AUGUSTA, Ga. — Sam Bennett didn't like it when well-wishers told him he might shoot the lowest score of any amateur at the Masters. He thought he could win the whole tournament.
While complimentary of Augusta National Golf Club, he isn't that impressed with its difficulty, saying that Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey, where he won the U.S. Amateur, is tougher.
The Texas A&M senior doesn't mind, as an amateur, missing out on a potentially big payday this week, saying "NIL has been pretty good this year."
