Retired @KentStGolf coach Herb Page had never missed one of his players' debuts in #TheMasters. He caddied a practice round for Ben Curtis in 2004, and was there for Corey Conners and Mac Hughes as well. This year was Taylor Pendrith's first start at Augusta National. Page, though, couldn't make it. As Pendrith teed off at 9:03 a.m. this morning, a few minutes before Page, 74, was 675 miles away at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, receiving his third of six doses in his latest batch of chemotherapy. “I’m making the turn,” said Page, who's kept his sense of humor even as he battles pancreatic cancer. Page is hopeful that doctors caught it early enough and that a December surgery helped remove the cancer. As he was hooked up to an IV on Thursday morning, he was tuned into the live stream on his laptop while wearing a green Masters hat and green Masters polo. “No one is more of a fighter than Coach Page,” said Conners, who fired a 4-under 68 on Thursday and is currently tied for second. Added Page of his players: “I’m not an inspiration to those guys; they’re an inspiration to me right now.”
