His first trip to the Masters came in 1974, and the winner that year was South Africa's Gary Player. While in college, Boyette worked on the leader boards during the Masters and was assigned to cover the tournament in 1986. He followed Jack Nicklaus throughout the final round that year and witnessed firsthand the Golden Bear's sixth and final Masters victory. That Masters inspired Boyette's first book, The 1986 Masters: How Jack Nicklaus Roared Back to Win, which was published in 2011. Boyette lives in Aiken, South Carolina, with his wife, Kathy.view less
