Last entrant Akshay lives Augusta dream

It allowed 64-year-old Sunil Bhatia and his wife Renu to drive from their home in Raleigh, North Carolina, to Augusta to be with their son at the year's first golf Major.

Akshay had been marked as a prodigy for years and was even part of the Drive, Chip and Putt Competition, the informal event held earlier in the Masters week, in 2014, finishing sixth before watching the practice rounds from the stands.

"Those memories are fresh in our minds. Akshay was as excited as anybody to get a chance to play at the course.

When he watched the practice rounds from outside the ropes, he wanted to get inside and play with the world's best golfers. To walk all the 18 holes to watch Akshay play at the same course is a special feeling for all of us," Sunil told The Indian Express on his way to Augusta.
