Kevin Streelman just made a kid’s day.
Streelman’s parents ‘aren’t feeling well’ and couldn’t make it to Wednesday’s practice round, so he turned those tickets into a dream come true for a young golfer. Streelman tweeted he had two tickets and offered the passes to a junior golfer and a parent who’ve never been to Augusta.
Bad News- mom and dad aren’t feeling well, can’t make tournament today Good News- 2 open wed tix for Masters

Harrison Stafford, the winner of the tickets, was ecstatic, calling Streelman a ‘class act.’ There’s just nothing better than seeing stories like this.
