Young patron enjoys all-star treatment at Masters

Tyler Hagler, 8, received all-star treatment Saturday when he was scooted to the front of a long line of patrons waiting to have their photo taken at Founders Circle.

“Since I’m a youth, they asked me some questions about golf and how many times I’ve been here,” Tyler said about the attendants who let him go to the front of the line. “I thought that was pretty nice. Nobody really likes to wait that much. It’s nice to let juniors get to the front.”

Tyler had his picture taken with his grandmother, Pia Hagler, both of Augusta, at the circle in front of the Augusta National clubhouse.

Earlier in the morning, they watched Rory McIlroy and Bubba Watson play golf. Tyler mapped out the route they followed using the flora names for each hole on the course.
