Inside the Ropes at the Masters

Kat Archer has lost her husband to cancer. Now all she wants to do is grieve. But Kat is a top caddie on the PGA Tour, and when her player pulls out of the Masters with injuries, he persuades her to caddie for Tony Pinasa, the hotheaded Anglo-Asian winner of the British Amateur.

Tony and Kat get off to an uneasy start as he struggles to control his temper. On the back nine, they disagree over a penalty stroke and the end of the round brings accusations of cheating from his playing partner. Meanwhile, Kat faces suspension from the course because of an unauthorized night-time visit to Amen Corner.

In the crucible of Masters week, Kat and Tony unite to battle the world's finest golfers. She imparts her course knowledge, and Tony talks of his homeland, impoverished Nepal, and the violent death of his Sherpa father. Amid the striving and stress, the losses and gains, Augusta National's beauty works its magic and Kat discovers there is more to life than golf.
