Former golf star ejected for using his cell phone at the Masters

A mobile phone ban applies to all visitors to the U.S. Masters in Augusta - even if you have won the British Open and 13 PGA titles. This is what former golf star Mark Calcavecchia experienced.

"I have nothing negative to say about Augusta and the Masters, so I'm hanging up now," Mark Calcavecchia told Golfweek.

Calcavecchia was turned away by security guards during the 90th edition of the Masters.

Why?

The American used his cellphone - despite a strict cellphone ban.

He is not the first to be banned from Augusta National because of the cellphone ban. In 2011, former Golf Channel personality Charlie Rymer lost his accreditation after leaving the media center to talk on his cellphone.
