In her initial tweet yesterday, Claire shared her desire to grab the Masters lottery at Augusta, “My dad won the Masters lottery and now it’s my job to stir the pot in the family group chat until he picks which kid to take.”  She followed up with another tweet, sharing her dad’s excitement for a solo day at Augusta. Fans were eagerly following along, waiting to see how this family dilemma would unfold.

“Massive update: my dad revealed that he only requested 1 ticket (for two reasons: 1) he thought the masters might feel bad for a guy requesting to go alone and throw him a bone, and 2) so he wouldn’t have to pick which child to take).” The anticipation and amusement continued to build as Claire kept updating her followers on the hilarious twists and turns.
