...and yes, those descriptions all refer to the same person. 30 year old Matt Parziale of Brockton, MA (playing out of Megan Khang's home course of Thorny Lea), who got not one but TWO video essays about him broadcast in the run up to the Masters, played a nine hole practice round with Fred Couples as well as the man responsible for the firefighter's son taking up the sport to begin with...Tiger Woods. He also participated in the par 3 contest and was greeted by the legendary trio playing behind his group: Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and the eventual winner Tom Watson. With his win in the Mid Amateur he also gets to play this year's US Open and US Amateur. Here is a link to ESPN's feature:
