Excited Dunbar to fly the Nest and turn professional after Masters

British Amateur champion Alan Dunbar thought his place in the 2013 Masters was priceless.

But even though it turns out that it’s going to cost him $14 (€10) a day to stay in the famous Crow’s Nest at Augusta National, the 22-year old from Rathmore is happy to shell out the cash for at least two days in what will be his final event before he can start playing for cash as a professional.

Managed by Chubby Chandler’s ISM stable thanks to a change in the Rules of Amateur Status in 2011, Dunbar said: “Augusta charge you $14 a day for your room and board but it’s going to be a once in a lifetime experience. You couldn’t put a price on a place in the Masters and I’m really looking forward to it.”
