How far would you go to acquire tickets to The Masters? Would you try to extort a Masters champion, like Jordan Spieth?
That’s what Spieth said happened to him after his 2015 victory at Augusta National, which was the first of his three majors that year.
Spieth was moving out of the house and a man had bought the old one for him. But Golfweek got Spieth to tell the story of how the man found some valuables in a safe that Spieth forgot to take with him when he moved.

Spieth asked the man if he could get them back, but this is where the story gets weird.
«When I moved out of the house in 2015, I left a few things in a safe like my high school ring,» Spieth began. «He said he would return them if and only if he went to his house for dinner and he could have mastery badges for the week. I said, ‘No, I think you should return it because it was the right one.’ Things to Do.’

«I think what ended up happening was I said, yeah we’ll find a time to meet, could my mom just pick it up because she was out of town? She did and I just haven’t done anything. The guy is pretty upset. Ha left a note on our door.
For those unaware of how difficult it is to obtain passes for Masters Week in Augusta, it is clearly unthinkable how far some golf fanatics will go to walk the hallowed course.

Even for Spieth, winner of a green jacket, it will be hard to get passes for that man. But it seems that he has made an enemy in the neighborhood after that note.

Spieth will have his sights set on winning The Masters once again this week, having not seen a podium finish in a major tournament since his 2017 win at The Open Championship.
In 2015, Spieth also captured the US Open title and won the Tour Championship later that year in one of the most dominant seasons the PGA Tour has ever seen.
