A mix-up with the invitation from the Augusta National Golf Club, which hosts the Masters, resulted in it ending up with Stallings, the Atlanta-based real estate agent, instead of Stallings, the 37-year-old professional golfer and three- time PGA Tour winner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The Masters is the first of four major tournaments of the year and the only one played on the same course every year.  The field is limited to the world&#8217;s best golfers.  By winning 2022&#8217;s tournament, Scottie Scheffler bagged $2.7 million of the contest&#8217;s $15 million purse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Augusta National did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">But all will be granted a mulligan of sorts.  After realizing that he was not the intended recipient, Stallings and his wife, Jenny, made it their mission to ensure the invitation made it into the right hands, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">They&#8217;re lucky they found the invitation when they did.  Scott and Jenny decided to celebrate New Year&#8217;s with an impromptu getaway at their condo on St.  Simons Island, which they&#8217;d purchased in August to use as a vacation rental.  But when no one booked it for the week straddling New Year&#8217;s Day, they decided to stay there themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">They arrived on New Year&#8217;s Eve.  As is their custom while traveling, Scott started unloading their luggage from the car while Jenny headed inside.  As she approached, she spotted a UPS package at the front door and opened it.  She immediately recognized the familiar Masters green of the envelope inside and the tournament&#8217;s logo on the front.  Jenny thought their years-long effort to score tickets to the tournament had finally paid off.  But as she considered it, that didn&#8217;t make sense because they hadn&#8217;t even applied to get tickets to this year&#8217;s event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Jenny read the letter inside, realizing that it wasn&#8217;t a ticket to watch but an invitation to <i>play<\/i> in the tournament.  She blurted out the news to her husband.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cIt felt amazing.  It felt like we had just won the lotto,\u201d Scott Stallings said.  \u201cWe know that the Masters is just such an important event.  It was like holding the golden ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">For a moment, he let his mind wander.  He&#8217;d just received an invitation for Scott Stallings to play in the Masters.  He was, in fact, Scott Stallings and had a driver&#8217;s license to prove it.  Armed with the official invitation, he suspected that he could wriggle his way onto the course at Augusta National and maybe even play a few holes before anyone was the wiser.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Stallings let his mind wander a little further.  Maybe \u2014 just maybe \u2014 the invitation was intended for him.  Augusta National might have chosen him at random as a way of letting the common man compete alongside the likes of Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">But reality bullied its way into Stallings&#8217;s thoughts, dashing his hopes.  He knew there was a pro golfer who shared his name.  And he knew this was not his golden ticket.  Although momentarily deflated, the realization that he had gotten the invitation by mistake gave the Stallingses new purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cWe had something special in our hands, but at the same time, we knew we were not the rightful owners,\u201d Stallings said.  \u201cSo it was our mission to get it back to the rightful owners.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Just not immediately.  Because the Stallingses had plans for New Year&#8217;s Eve, they put the Masters invitation on their dining room table.  It stayed there the next morning as they took their planned New Year&#8217;s Day walk on the beach.  After night fell, they returned to their project.  They had to get the invitation to pro golfer Scott Stallings, but how?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Jenny sent a direct message on Instagram to the pro, who replied with a laughing emoji.  So they took photos of the two envelopes and invitation letter and sent them as proof.  Stallings the real estate agent also gave Stallings the pro golfer his phone number.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">But he called that night around 9:30, after Stallings had set his phone to \u201cdo not disturb\u201d mode.  The call went to voice mail.  On Monday morning, Jenny checked Instagram and saw that the golfer had posted screenshots of their messages to his account and the story had blown up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cLiterally had been checking the mailbox five times a day and then I got this random DM yesterday,\u201d Stallings wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">At 11 am, the professional golfer called back while preparing to play the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, and the two Scott Stallingses finally connected.  He gave them his home address in Tennessee so they could send the invitation he&#8217;d been eagerly awaiting for weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The next day, Tuesday, Stallings and Jenny took the Masters invitation to a UPS store in Georgia.  They filmed the experience in a video they posted to Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cOkay, Scott, why are we at the UPS store?\u201d  his wife asked from behind the camera.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Wearing a frown and holding up a green envelope emblazoned with the Masters logo, Stallings explained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cCause I&#8217;m having to send <i>my<\/i> invitation to play at the Masters back to the <i>other<\/i> Scott Stallings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Stallings said the pro golfer invited him and his wife to Augusta during Masters week, a token of appreciation for fixing the invitation blunder.  That includes a dinner with all four Stallingses and tickets to watch practice rounds before the tournament begins on Thursday.  Stallings said he&#8217;s thrilled to go to Augusta National during Masters week, something that&#8217;s eluded him for years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cIt&#8217;s just a dream come true,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Stallings is still holding out hope that he&#8217;ll find a way to watch the tournament \u2014 maybe even on the weekend when a champion will be decided.  One thing is n&#8217;t in doubt: Stallings is rooting for his namesake, now more than ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The professional golfer, however, still doesn&#8217;t have his invitation.  On Wednesday afternoon, the real estate developer checked the tracking information for the UPS package he&#8217;d sent the day before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cIt <i>work <\/i>en route,\u201d he said.
