Pre-Masters Slip News

United States Of America,North America,Agence France Presse

Cameron Smith’s lucky charm bracelet didn’t prevent a pre-Masters slip after arriving at Augusta still recovering from food poisoning but the result was not as bad as a gym mishap which means Min Woo Lee will play the Masters with a broken finger.

A comical Cameron Smith slip near the water on the 13th hole at Augusta wasn’t the only accident which has created some injury worries at the Masters.

“Yeah, a bit of food poisoning at the start of last week and probably just tried to do a little bit too much and body just kind of shut down on me,” Smith, who has four top-10 finishes at Augusta, said. “I think here more than most places if you get behind the 8-ball, you’re pretty screwed pretty early. It definitely doesn’t make it any easier.

“I didn’t try to jump, I just tried to get on a couple of rocks, and I had metals in my right shoe and I slipped. A bit of comedy for the crowd there,” he said. “I have it bandaged up right now. You know, I hit my first shot for the last week on Friday, so hit my first full driver,” he said.
