VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — It's a tradition unlike any other and a career goal for many golfers: the Masters.
Virginia Beach native Evan Beck, 34, lived that experience this week during his Masters debut.
Beck teed off in Augusta Thursday morning for the first time. He shot 77, which is 5 over par. On Friday, he shot 76 — 4 over par. His two-day total of 9 over par leaves him tied for 89th, falling short of making the cut to play over the weekend. The top 50 golfers, plus ties, advance to the third and fourth rounds.
His group for the first two rounds included two-time Masters champ Bubba Watson.
Beck qualified for the storied event by winning the U.S. Mid-Amateur back in September. The Virginia Beach native calls Princess Anne Country Club his home course. He starred at Norfolk Academy and played at Wake Forest.
