Masters Connection

There are many interesting connections in sports between fathers and sons. Such is the case of former Pats punter Bruce Barns. He is the father of Ricky Barns, a player on the PGA Tour with career winnings of over $1 million. Ricky played well in the Masters.

His father Bruce was drafted in the 12th round of the 1973 after a career at UCLA. He was in the same draft that produced three first round picks in John Hannah, Sam Cunningham and Daryl Stingley.

Bruce Barnes played 23 games from 1973-1974 and ended with a 37.4 yard average. He often serves as his son's caddy on the PGA tour.
