Imagine finding out you couldn’t play in the Masters just days before you were going to tee it up at Augusta. And then never earning your way back. My deep dive into the story of Bruce Robertson and a forgotten Masters heartbreak.

Unpacking the mystery of why a Stanford golfer was deemed ineligible at the 11th hour.
