One 60-year-old was able to nab some passes for Monday's practice round. And he couldn't seem more thrilled.
It seems this grandpa had been striking out in the Masters ticket lottery for a couple of decades before breaking through. And upon finally receiving his golden green-enveloped tickets in the mail, he proudly showed them off to the UPS guy delivering them. Have a look:
