Golfer gets Masters invitation, asks mistaken recipient to practice round

It’s finally here.

In Scott Stallings’ case, that means his Masters invitation.

Last week, three-time PGA Tour winner Scott Stallings was patiently waiting for his invite to play at Augusta National in April in the first major of the year. Yet it never arrived.

Instead, it went to Scott Stallings, who happens to share the same name as the professional golfer but doesn’t have quite the skills.

The other Stallings, an Atlanta realtor, received the golfer’s invite by mistake and shared it on social media, quickly going viral. Nothing to fret, however, as the golfer Stallings received his invitation from the realtor Stallings in the mail after the mixup.

The Stallings will meet at Augusta National in April, as the golfer will host the realtor during a practice round.
