Brandon Holtz is one of the better stories happening around the Masters
Summary: Brandon Holtz is an amateur golfer who earned a rare spot to play in the Masters by winning the U.S. Mid-Amateur tournament. He is from Bloomington, Illinois, which is also the headquarters for State Farm insurance. His dad, a retired State Farm worker, is his caddie for the tournament. During his first round, Brandon shot an 81 while wearing the famous "Jake from State Farm" outfit—a red shirt and khakis! He even used custom golf balls with sweet messages from his family.
