Putting is never easy on the greens at Augusta National Golf Club. That said, it’s recommended to not break your putter while you’re trying to hang around the top of the Masters leaderboard. Alas, that’s exactly what Si-Woo Kim did on the 14th hole of his second round on Friday. Kim, who was five-under par at the moment and […]

With the 2021 Masters Tournament set to begin tomorrow, golfers have already been preparing at Augusta National Golf Club for the highly-anticipated event.
