Sam Bennett's Inspiring Journey as an Amateur Golfer at The Masters.

Amateur golfer Sam Bennett, inspired by his late father's last written words, has dazzled at The Masters, shooting a bogey-free, four-under 68 to end Thursday level with defending champion Scottie Scheffler in sixth. Bennett's father Mark died in June 2021 after an eight-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease, and the words "Don't wait to do something" inscribed on his wrist represent the final piece of advice his father gave him. Bennett's eight-under 136 marks the second-lowest score ever posted by an amateur at The Masters, just one shy of Ken Venturi’s nine-under 135 effort in 1956, according to the PGA Tour.
