Keith Mitchell admits he had a bit of a rocky relationship with the Masters this past weekend.
Apparently qualifying for golf’s ultimate stage and then failing to do so can have that effect. The former Baylor School and University of Georgia standout earned an invite to the 2019 Masters by winning the Honda Classic several weeks earlier and shot a 1-under-par 287 at Augusta National, but he hasn’t made it back.
Missing out last November had him longing for the opportunity to return, with this year’s tournament stinging the 29-year-old a bit more.
“We are not divorced, but we are very separated,” Mitchell said with a laugh. “We’re not living in the same house. Until I’m back in there and can tackle that beast, I am going to hold a grudge against it even though it did nothing to me. I’m the only one at fault here.
“After playing in it and then not playing in it, it’s kind of bittersweet watching it.”
