You may have also noticed a certain Grayson Murray was causing a bit of a stir again. Last week, he said if he made the Masters he would be taking a playboy model.
Then, he made the claim that it was easier to rise up the rankings in Europe and Asia that ended in a mini Twitter spat with Byeong-Hun An. So guess who is Masters tip was…
