Patrick Reed promised to “fatten those boys up a little” with his Champions Dinner menu on Tuesday at Augusta National, and from the looks of things, the reigning Masters champ delivered the goods.

History has proven that anything can happen during John Daly’s annual week-long stay in a Hooters parking lot not far from Augusta National, where he sells merchandise during the Masters.
