Every professional golfer’s dream is qualifying for the Masters and that dream really doesn’t become a reality until you receive your official invitation in the mail.
PGA Tour veteran Scott Stallings qualified for this year’s tournament and has been going crazy checking the mail for an invitation that hasn’t yet arrived.
Well, there’s a funny story behind the delay. The folks at Augusta National apparently sent the beautiful invitation to a random guy who is also named Scott Stallings. Imagine finding that in your mailbox one day!?
Scott Stallings the pro golfer found this out when he checked his DMs on Twitter. This is pretty incredible:
Literally had been checking the mailbox five times a day and then I got this random DM yesterday 🫠 pic.twitter.com/yMvUYm3ioK

That’s amazing. And what a nice guy that other Scott Stallings is. I probably would have just shown up on tournament week with my clubs and tried my best to get in.
Twitter had reactions.
Looks like somebody at @TheMasters is getting fired https://t.co/0m3lpYq6Zv

Scott Stallings the weekend hacker should have accepted the invite to play The Masters. https://t.co/5uHpBxasUu

The honesty is amazing. “Im 100% sure this is not for me.” Lol there are so many people out there that when receiving this, they’d try to pull it off in April knowing it wasn’t for them 😂 (me being included) https://t.co/oQbLjQmfmH

Who would have rolled up with a buddy on the bag and asked for their tee tim? I hope this dude gets a badge for life! @forthandten https://t.co/wBYAK54HbG
