A Georgia man was briefly¹ invited to play in golf's Masters Tournament

Transcript²

Scott Stallings received an official invitation, but it was meant for a pro³ golfer with the same name. But he's going to the Masters anyway: pro-Scott invited amateur-Scott to watch a practice round.

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Almost any golfer dreams of playing at the Masters, even those of us who know how many balls we'd hit into Rae's Creek⁴. Scott Stallings of Georgia was briefly living this dream. He received an invitation to the Masters, which sadly was intended for a pro golfer with the same name. He wrote the pro saying, I'm 100% sure this is not for me, but he's going to go anyway because pro Scott invited amateur Scott to watch a practice round. It's MORNING EDITION.
