Luke List is not lacking for incentive after last weekend’s runner-up finish to Justin Thomas at the Honda Classic.

Especially with the start of the Masters just five weeks from today.

The former Baylor School and Vanderbilt University golfer would have qualified for the year’s first major had he topped Thomas in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., but List still has other avenues to earn an invitation to Augusta National.

“Last year was one of the better years in my career, if not the best, and I was still disappointed,” List said this week, “because I put in a lot of hard work and still didn’t get to play in the Masters. Coming into the beginning of this 2017-18 season, I really made that a priority.

“I’m trying to think more about the immediate effort right now than the end results, because I think the good things will take care of themselves.”
