Olympic skier Bode Miller learned the hard way that $7,500 may get you a set to the Masters Tournament, but leftover food isn't quite part of the deal.

While exiting Berckmans Place, a hospitality venue at Augusta National Golf Club, Miller and his wife Morgan Beck were stopped as they headed over to the golf course and forced to surrender their quesadillas and leftovers before watching the Masters Tournament play on Thursday. Beck and Miller were apparently in violation of a Masters rule that prohibits outside food from being eaten on the court.

Talk about a major bummer.

"If you pay $7,500 you ought to be able to bring out a quesadilla," Miller told the Augusta Chronicle.

Better luck next time, Miller.

The Augusta Chronicle reports that the affluent Berckmans Place venue opened last year and is available to Augusta National members, tournament sponsors and other friends of the club. Visitors there Thursday said the facility, portions of which are visible from the Gate 9 walkway, easily covers 90,000 square feet, with three distinct dining areas, walls of Masters history, areas from which to watch the tournament and a practice putting area that's a replica of three Augusta National greens.

Currently, the Masters golf tournament is in its third round with Jordan Spieth at the top of the leader board followed by Bubba Watson, Matt Kuchar, Jonas Blixt, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Rickie Fowler, Lee Westwood, Jim Furyk, Thomas Bjorn, and Justin Rose.

Cleveland.com reports that the list of golfers who failed to make the cut includes several notable names, starting with Phil Mickelson, who won't play during the weekend for the first time since 1997. Also missing the cut were Cleveland native and reigning PGA Championship winner Jason Dufner, Luke Donald, Ernie Els, Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia.
