‘‘This is a joyous occasion,’‘ Augusta National chairman Billy Payne told The Associated Press. ‘‘These accomplished women share our passion for the game of golf and both are well known and respected by our membership…This is a significant and positive time in our club’s history and, on behalf of our membership, I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome them and all of our new members into the Augusta National family.’‘
