Weir pays visit to Augusta
With no status on the PGA Tour this year, Mike Weir spent Wednesday at a place filled with good memories — Augusta National Golf Club. The 2003 Masters champion tried to qualify for two PGA events this year but failed. The 46-year-old currently sits 32nd with almost US$28 million in career winnings. The native of Sarnia, Ont., said he’s feeling healthy. Weir has battled personal and injury issues in the past few years, making just one cut since the 2014 season, when he earned US$854,413. Weir hopes a return to Augusta this week will re-energize his game. “This year I’m a little more intent on getting some extra practice in,” he said.
