Jackson Jobe, one of the Detroit Tigers’ top prospects and son of a Masters golfer, picked up the first major league win of his career on Saturday against the Minnesota Twins.

Jobe is the son of Brandt Jobe, who appeared in three Masters competitions and finished tied for 14th in 1999. 

Jackson Jobe went six innings and struck out two batters and allowed two hits as the Tigers won the game 4-0. It was his third start of the season.

He explained his gameplan to reporters as he didn’t have a ton of strikeouts on the day.

"I just haven’t been throwing my curveball for strikes, so there was a big emphasis on that going into today’s outing," he said, via MLB.com. "I’ve been wanting to throw it a little bit more, but [catcher Tomás] Nido is not going to call it if I’m not throwing it for strikes. I feel like it took a pretty big step today."

The win came amid Masters weekend at Augusta National in Georgia and fond memories of his father competing in the tournament.

He was the 1990 Canadian Tour Order of Merit winner and the 1995 Asia Golf Circuit Order of Merit winner.

As for the Tigers, they are on top of the American League Central division with a 9-5 record.

Min Woo Lee’s chances of an incredible Masters victory at Augusta National this weekend took a hit as tournament officials penalized the golfer for an infraction on the 13th hole.

Lee was hit with a one-stroke penalty after officials said he caused his ball to move on the fairway. Lee asked for an official after he noticed his ball had moved and it was determined that "his actions near the ball did cause it to move," according to Augusta National.
