Tennessee Amateur Jackson Herrington Misses Masters Cut After Costly 12th-Hole Triple

A triple bogey at the par-3 12th showed how a single shot can decide a rookie week at Augusta.

Overview

  • Jackson Herrington, a 19-year-old Tennessee sophomore, finished 8-over 152 in his Masters debut and did not make the cut.
  • A triple-bogey six at the par-3 12th hole knocked him out of position to advance after he had tracked near the cut line through 11 holes.
  • His second round closed at 4-over 76, and he made pars on every hole after No. 12 to finish the day.
  • He tied for the best finish among the six amateurs with Oklahoma State’s Ethan Fang and placed ahead of several touring professionals.
  • He earned his invitation as last summer’s U.S. Amateur runner-up and said the week exceeded his expectations, fueling his goal to return to Augusta.
