Nissan surprised Smylie Kaufman with a new car after the Masters
24-year-old Smylie Kaufman went low Saturday at the Masters and earned the right to play in the final group in his first trip to Augusta National. After his third round, Kaufman joined Jim Nantz for an interview, where he said he still lives with his parents and drives an eight-year-old car.
Kaufman struggled on Sunday, shooting a 9-over par round of 81 - but he walked away $68,000 richer with a T-29 finish, and Nissan surprised him with a new ride.

@NissanUSA @Nissan I'm glad I didn't have to hit a hole in one to get one! I appreciate the unexpected surprise!
