A former employee of the Augusta National Golf Club was sentenced to one year in prison for stealing Masters golf tournament merchandise that he sold online for millions of dollars to online brokers over about 13 years.
Richard Brendan Globensky, of Evans, Georgia, was sentenced Wednesday in Chicago federal court, where he pleaded guilty to the theft last year. Globensky also was ordered to pay more than $3.4 million in restitution to the golf club, which is located in Augusta, Georgia.
