Only one amateur from the UK has ever made the halfway cut at the Masters and Peter McEvoy, with a disarming sense of candour, is rather hoping it stays that way. To the charge of grumpy old golfer, he happily pleads guilty. 'Nobody can fault me for honesty,' says the Midlander, who dominated the amateur scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and played all four rounds at Augusta in 1978. Each year, McEvoy takes a keen interest in the winner of the Amateur Championship, and his considerable perk of a trip to Augusta the next April. 'Quite often it's an international player who wins the Amateur and then I can relax,' says the 68-year-old, drolly.
