No LD Tip today but as it’s Masters weekend, thought I would tell a story about the year a  lady eating a bag of crisps (chips) potentially cost me a Green Jacket 😊

It was 2007 and it had been really cold and windy all week, scoring was really really tough. Stuart Appleby was leading after 3 rounds at +2 and I was 4 shots back heading into Sunday. After pitching in for eagle on the 8th at that point I stood just 1 shot off the lead. 
After a good drive on the ninth, I had a perfect number and just as I was about to hit, I was distracted by a lady patron making the most noise ever eating a bag of crisps 🤣🤣🤣. I had to back off the shot a couple of times while she was rustling thru her crisp bag. When I finally hit my approach, I had a Tin Cup moment - felt the breeze shift on my downswing and the ball came up a few yards short of the pin only to watch it roll some 30 yards back down the hill. After 3 terrible short game shots, I walked off the 9th hole with a triple bogey - tournament over! I played the backnine in even finishing T10th 6 shots behind the eventual winner Zach Johnson. 
A side story to the week was I actually played a practice round that week with @zjohnsonpga and playing 18 into a strong northerly wind we both hit 3 irons in for our 2nd shots. After he hit his, he turned to me and said “What chance do we have this week hitting 3 irons into 18!” Well in the end a couple of guys who didn’t hit it the furthest both had great chances that week, Zach of course donning the Green Jacket and being the last man standing that year 👏🏼 #talesfromaugusta #crispgate #golfershaverabbitears #shouldhavehit1moreclub 🤣
