AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Maybe gift shopping really is out of control at the Masters . Xander Schauffele's tee shot on the par-5 eighth hole Thursday at Augusta National appeared to come to rest in somebody's merchandise bag, just a few feet to the left of the fairway.
Schauffele used a tee to mark the spot, removed the ball and then handed off the bag to a woman in a pink and white outfit. He was able to play on without penalty and made par. Schauffele finished the front nine in 1 under, but he had his shaky moments.
His tee shot on the par-4 ninth ended up in some pine straw and his second shot found a bunker. Then he splashed out to within inches of the hole. ___ AP golf: https://apnews.
