During the Masters tournament this week, golfer Jason Day made headlines for his bold fashion choices, particularly his outfits from Malbon. However, one of his ensembles, a white vest emblazoned with 'Malbon Golf Championship,' raised some eyebrows. Day revealed that he was asked to remove the vest during his third round, showing respect for the tournament's regulations.
Day clarified that like other players, he received specific clothing instructions from Malbon for each day of the tournament. Despite the wardrobe adjustment, Day emphasized that he wasn't trying to make a statement with his attire.
Meanwhile, Shane Lowry delivered an impressive performance at the challenging 14th hole, securing an eagle after hitting his tee shot into the trees. Lowry's celebration was short-lived as he faced setbacks in the following holes, ultimately finishing with a 75.
Amateur golfer Neal Shipley, the only amateur to make the cut at the Masters, highlighted the financial challenges of participating in major tournaments without the ability to accept prize money. Shipley expressed gratitude for his sponsors and partners who have supported him through the tournament, emphasizing the significant costs associated with competing at such prestigious events.
Shipley, a college golfer at Ohio State, plans to participate in the upcoming U.S. Open as an amateur before transitioning to professional status and pursuing opportunities to earn prize money through qualifying events.
Overall, the Masters showcased a mix of fashion controversies, remarkable shots, and financial considerations for both established professionals and up-and-coming amateurs in the world of golf.
