Two youth Metro Detroit golfers make it to the Masters for the 2023 Drive, Chip, and Putt competition

The Masters Tournament is kicked off by Drive, Chip, and Putt, a youth golf competition for kids ages 7-15. Only 80 athletes from across the country qualify for the prestigious event and Metro Detroit boasts two of the special qualifiers. If you ask any golfer where their bucket list golf trip would be, chances are they would say Augusta National. Well, two local youth golfers get the chance to cross that one off their list. Lyla Hampton is 14-years-old and in ninth grade from Grosse Pointe Park. Robbie Melendez is from Ann Arbor and is 11-years-old in fifth grade.
