Masters has record field of international players
The scoreboard right of the first fairway at Augusta National has flags representing countries of every player in the Masters field. It will never have more flags than this year.
Players from 27 countries and territories already are part of the 92-man field expected to compete April 10-13, breaking the record of 25 set in 2015.
Among the additions are Singapore for NCAA champion Hiroshi Tai. The flag of the Cayman Islands returns for Latin America Amateur champion Justin Hastings, while Kevin Yu of Taiwan qualified for his first Masters by winning the Sanderson Farms Championship last year.
