The Masters doesn’t make many mistakes—but it made one on Friday.
This is my favorite golf tournament of the year for a long list of reasons. The course, which proved fiery and highly entertaining on Saturday, is captivating in every way. The traditions, even if some of them are old-school, add to the majesty of the event.
As someone who attended last Tuesday and has been seven times, I drink the Kool-Aid on everything Masters. It is as close to perfect as we get in golf, even if there is minor nitpicking to be had. (Can we get more TV coverage so we don’t miss the leaders teeing off on Saturday?)
But even I am perturbed by the decision to ask Jason Day to remove his Malbon sweater vest during Friday’s play. That is, according to Day, what happened after he debuted a “busy” sweater that read “Malbon Golf Championship” in bold letters.
He started the morning wearing the vest during the completion of Round One but took it off before starting Round Two about 30 minutes later.
