Like so many golf aficionados this weekend, Lorenzo Ward will have his television tuned to the Masters.
After so many years of being there in person.
“This will be the first year I’ve missed in a long time,” says Fresno State’s new defensive coordinator, watching Thursday’s first round on his office set. “Sure I’d love to be there because it’s just so great.”
Ward doesn’t know the exact number, but estimates he’s attended Sunday’s final round about 20 times. One of the first was in 1997, when Tiger Woods lapped the field by 12 strokes to win his first major.
