With so much going on in the same field, the Masters Tournament is nothing less than a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And not just the fans, but even professional golfers can be overwhelmed by the utter vibe of Augusta National.

However, despite all her accomplishments, the retired athlete found herself extremely nervous at the Masters.

During her Masters interview, West opened up about her unforgettable experience at Augusta National. With her first visit to the mega-tournament, the professional golfer could only call it nothing less than “amazing”. However, while giving details about her time near the most exclusive spot at Augusta, the Big Oak Tree, West revealed something unexpected about herself.

Or maybe she just wanted to FaceTime her family and show them the magnificent course.
