Gabby Herzig played Augusta National. Ask her your question about the experience
You may or may not know that on the Monday after the Masters, Augusta National Golf Club allows a group of media members to play the course. Every credentialed member of the press is eligible through a lottery system, and being picked is, for many, the highlight of their week. The Athletic 's Gabby Herzig, covering her second Masters, was lucky enough to be chosen and played Augusta National the day after Rory McIlroy won the career Grand Slam. For background: Gabby is a former Division III golfer considering making a run at the U.S. Mid-Am qualifier. She is, though she's too modest to admit it, a stick. What do you want to know about the experience, the course or her round? Submit your questions in the comments and she'll answer them this week. Gabby Herzig April 14, 2025 Updated 8:44 pm EDT

Best amateurs in the 2025 Masters field? We ranked them at Augusta National
Best amateurs in the 2025 Masters field? We ranked them at Augusta National There are only five amateurs in the 2025 Masters field, but they are among the most important parts of the year's first major. Whether it's the Amateur Dinner on Monday with Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley, staying in the Crow's Nest or being awarded the Silver Cup on Sunday, amateurs have been a big part of the storyline for every single Masters, and that won't change this year. However, only one can win low amateur honors (and he must make the cut to do so). Here's a look at the ranking for the five amateurs in the Masters: Ranking the amateurs in 2025 Masters field 5. Evan Beck The reigning Mid-Am champion hasn't played a WAGR-ranked event since last November. He's likely to be on the U.S. Walker Cup team this fall, but as far as Augusta National, he comes in with likely more rust than anyone. 4. Hiroshi Tai Tai has only one top-10 finish this season for Georgia Tech, somewhat of a surprise winner last year, nabbing the NCAA title at Omni La Costa. It's the second straight year a Yellow Jacket is playing at Augusta National, following Christo Lamprecht's footsteps from last year. 3. Noah Kent Kent made his PGA Tour debut two weeks ago at the Texas Children's Houston Open, fighting with a bout of food poisoning and missing the cut because of it, but he did close in 4-under 67 on Friday. Then, he finished fifth last week at the Terra Cotta Invitational. The long hitter could find success at Augusta National but still is knocking off rust. 2. Justin Hastings Hastings won the Latin America Amateur Championship earlier this year, and he is trying to supplant Xander Schauffele as the best golfer in San Diego State history. He finished in the top eight in four of his last five starts for the Aztecs, including a win. He's in good form, and that gives him the edge for this spot. 1. Josele Ballester It has been a good week already for Spaniards at Augusta National, with Carla Bernat Escuder winning the Augusta National Women's Amateur. Ballester, the 2024 U.S. Amateur champion from Arizona State, is hoping to continue the momentum. There have been four Spanish winners of the Masters, and Ballester is scheduled to pay practice rounds with them this week. He comes to Augusta National in good form, and he has a great chance to win low amateur honors.
