Sepp Straka had a barbecue with his loved ones in Augusta on Tuesday evening. A normal family life is very important to Austria's golf star, it gives him a lot of strength. This was evident during the practice round on Tuesday, when he ripped off two good buddies, as Straka's former coach Claude Grenier, who is now Head Pro at GC Ebreichsdorf, reported for the "Krone" from Augusta.

Thousands of golf fans watched the solar eclipse in Augusta in the US state of Georgia with specially distributed free glasses with the Masters logo. The spectators, who are called patrons here, were also very enthusiastic about the new Masters garden gnome.
