Pepperell beats marker Knox, which makes him 'better than Rory'

AUGUSTA, Ga. – For a place that prides itself on supplying patrons with plenty of guidance and information, there’s an aura of mystique surrounding Jeff Knox.

With an odd number of players (65) making it past the 36-hole cut at the Masters, it was once again time for Knox to shine Saturday morning. But only those in the know had a proper appreciation for the 56-year-old who comprised the anonymous half of the 9:05 a.m. ET pairing alongside Eddie Pepperell.

On the tournament-supplied tee sheet, the player information said only “(Marker).” Knox’s caddie sported a white jumpsuit with no name on the back, his stand golf bag bearing no information beyond a small Augusta National logo near the base.
