Scott Stallings was waiting for his invitation to play in the Masters as he hasn’t competed in the tournament since 2014. And after seeing his fellow pro golfers getting their invites, Stallings was wondering why he hasn’t received his invitation via mail. Earlier this month the 37-year-old golfer went to Twitter to reveal that his invitation was sent to a different Scott Stallings. In the tweet, Stallings revealed that he received a DM from a guy also named Scott Stallings who told him that he received his Masters invite.
“I’m (emoji 100) sure this is NOT for me,” the realtor Stallings wrote in a direct message to the pro golfer Stallings. “I play but wow! No where near your level.” According to CNN, Stallings is a realtor from Saint Simons Island, Georgia. And in an Instagram post, the Stallings from Georgia wrote, “So something crazy happened!! You know how I always take pictures of the REAL PGA player, Scott Stallings, and pretend I’m playing golf and LEADING? Well I got mailed HIS Master’s Invitation. Jenny made me reach out to him via IG. Trust me! I was thinking of showing up with my clubs and the invite. Anyway, he responded and is VERY HAPPY we have his invitation and will forward it to him.”
