‘Living the dream’ – Fans spot golfer playing the Masters third round who’s not on the leaderboard

AUGUSTA National Golf Club member Michael McDermott is playing the Masters alongside the stars this weekend.

The American will not among the pros.

But he will hope to make a positive impression, after teeing off alongside world No33 Tom Kim.

McDermott has been the Augusta National's marker since 2022.

He also stepped in to play in 2023, following Kevin Na's withdrawal.

Per Joe Pompliano, McDermott is CEO of a financial services firm.

He adds that the Augusta marker can drive the ball 300 yards, and that he also holds a membership at the Pine Valley and Merion clubs.

Seeing McDermott's story, one fan wrote on X: “Dream Job!!! What’s the hiring process look like?”

While a second gushed: “What a cool tradition!”

A third commented: “Damn thats an honor.”

And a fourth cheekily added: “Augusta, Pine Valley, Merion? This guy would make a great friend.”

McDermott is said to be a very accomplished player at amateur level.

Per Golf Monthly, he has twice won the Crump Cup at Pine Valley.

He succeeded Augusta's popular former marker Jeff Knox three years ago.
