Sam Bennett wants to be known for more than the tattoo he carries on his left forearm, the poignant story of his late father that led to it, and the ever-present advice it offers that has carried him around Augusta National.
"Don't wait to do something," the tattoo reads. Signed,"Pops.""Yeah," Bennett said,"it's a great story. Incredible. But I want to start talking about golf more than what's happened to me."
Asked if Venturi's name resonated with Bennett, he replied:"I don't even know if he's won any majors, or what majors." It was the only time Bennett looked uncomfortable all day. "Sam's a tremendous player," said defending champion Scottie Scheffler, who played the first two rounds with him."I know how nervous he must have felt out there on first tee being an amateur. It's just a different feeling."
