Marietta’s Hudson Knapp is heading back to Augusta National Golf Club. For the third time, Knapp qualified for the Drive, Chip and Putt Finals, which will be held April 4, 2027, the day before Masters week begins.

Knapp scored a total of 176 points to win the 12-13 age group by 30 points. Knapp won the drive and putt portions of the competition.
