'Fairytale stuff': Pro's hard year ends with ticket to 2027 Masters

Eleven years ago, Grant Forrest had a ticket to the Masters in his grasp. Then a budding Scottish amateur star, Forrest reached the finals of the 2015 Amateur Championship. A win meant not only one of amateur golf’s biggest prizes but also a trip to Magnolia Lane. But a 4&2 loss to Romain Langasque meant Forrest’s Augusta National dream would have to wait. The wait wasn’t expected to be long. Forrest made the 2015 Walker Cup team and was expected to be one of Europe’s bright young stars. But golf had other plans.
