A Georgia amateur golfer experienced a weekend hacker’s dream when he received an invitation to the Masters in the mail.

The invitation was actually intended for PGA Tour player Scott Stallings, who qualified for the Tour Championship at the end of the season in 2022 and so made the Masters field.

The genuine Scott Stallings claimed in a tweet on Tuesday that he had been checking his inbox five times every day for the invitation, but it had never come.
