Karson Adkins is a Tennessean who wasn't sure she was going to the Drive, Chip and Putt national finals. But she nailed her goal to get all nine shots in the competition in play, and that goal worked. Now she gets to go to Augusta National and take in the spectacular opportunity to compete there.
We talk about the experience she's about to have, what she's learned in advance of the competition and how her friends and family have hit her up with merch requests.
