Xander Schauffele's shot lands in a viewer's merchandise bag. It didn't stop him from making par
Maybe gift shopping really is out of control at the Masters.Xander Schauffele's tee shot on the par-5 eighth hole Thursday at Augusta National ended up in somebody's merchandise bag, just a few feet to the left of the fairway. Schauffele used a tee to mark the spot, removed the ball and then handed off the bag to a woman in a pink and white outfit.He was able to play on without penalty and made par.It just flew straight into the bag. It was a great break. That bounce wouldve put me in the pine straw and who knows if I wouldve had a shot to hit up the hill, Schauffele said after shooting a 2-under 70 in the first round.So thanks to the lady on 8, he said.Schauffele shouldn't sell himself short for his own role in a solid first day. After his tee shot on the par-4 ninth ended up in some pine straw and his second shot found a bunker, he splashed out to within inches of the hole for a par.He made three birdies and two bogeys on the back nine.A little bit of a mixed bag, he said.No pun intended, presumably.___AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
