GEORGIA — What's in a name? If yours is Scott Stallings, it might include tickets to attend the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia.
Scott Stallings is a real estate professional who lives in Chamblee, Georgia. He enjoys golf but is by no means a PGA champion.
"It was probably about five or six years ago when I actually saw him on TV and realized, you know, wow, there's another guy that has my name, you know, playing golf," Stallings, the realtor, told ABC's Atlanta affiliate WSB."So every time I saw him on TV, I'd always take a picture of it and posted it on Facebook."
"Just the excitement of receiving anything from Augusta National, and then, you know, kind of hearing the back and forth of him thinking that that was his ticket," Stallings, the golfer, said."It was a ticket, I guess, just a different kind." Of golf's four major championships, the Masters is the only tournament to consistently be played at the same course, as opposed to a rotating set of professional courses in the United States and United Kingdom. Lucky fans are able to purchase relatively affordable tickets through a lottery system orchestrated by Augusta National; fans left on the secondary market pay thousands of dollars for tickets.
