Jacklyn King put both hands over her mouth and glanced toward her kneeling boyfriend, Stephen Fogle.

“Are you proposing right now?” she asked.

His response and her answer were each yes Tuesday morning as Jacklyn’s parents, Tim and Margaret King, applauded the moment at Amen Corner.

“I proposed to Jacklyn’s mom at the 1986 PGA Championship at Inverness Club (in Toledo, Ohio),” Tim King said. “I’m just so happy for (Stephen and Jacklyn). We’ll never forget this.”

Tuesday was the first time any of the four had been to Augusta National Golf Club, and Fogle admitted, “I’m so overwhelmed right now.”

Jacklyn King won Tuesday practice round tickets through the Masters Tournament lottery.

“To be honest, I’m in complete shock,” she said while wiping away tears. “I had no idea this was happening. Absolutely no clue.”

Fogle and King live in Columbus, Ohio, and met at Ohio University.

When asked what he planned to do the rest of the day, Fogle said, “I need a beer.”

“Me too,” King said.
