I Played Augusta National the Day After the Masters | Dan Evans Show #99

About this episode

Dan Evans shares his unforgettable experience playing Augusta National the day after the Masters.

Dan Evans is back from Augusta with the golf story of a lifetime. After getting drawn in the media lottery, Dan got the chance to play Augusta National on Monday, the day after the Masters, and this episode is the full recap. From driving down Magnolia Lane and seeing Bubba Watson’s locker, to the nerves on the first tee, the best shot of the day, a birdie on 14, and somehow losing only one ball, the crew breaks down every unforgettable part of the round. Then the show shifts into the latest in golf: the Fitzpatrick brothers’ Zurich win, LIV’s New Orleans schedule shake-up, Justin Rose’s McLaren club switch, and another massive Nelly Korda win.0:00 Dan got to play Augusta National1:24 Bubba Watson’s locker and the champions locker room2:14 The night before and arriving early at Augusta3:15 Driving Magnolia Lane to actually play4:03 The merch shop, range, and first-tee nerves5:13 Opening the round from the pine straw6:01 Two straight pars to start at Augusta8:01 What surprised Dan most about Augusta National9:02 Favorite holes and the magic of Amen Corner11:03 Dan’s best shot of the day12:16 The birdie on 1412:58 The Hideki bow on 1814:17 How many balls Dan lost at Augusta16:43…
