Golf: Player will be allowed private security during Masters after PTSD diagnosis

# Golf: Local player Gary Woodland will be allowed private security during the US Masters, which tees off at Augusta in Georgia later today. The 2019 US Open champion underwent surgery to remove a benign brain tumour in September 2023 which was successful, but left him with post-traumatic stress disorder. One of the side effects is hyper-vigilance, making him extremely alert or cautious, especially around groups of people. Woodland secured entry by winning the Houston Open in Texas last month.
