....this will get you ready.
I'm curious to see what Augusta we get this year.
The real teeth of Augusta are the greens.
But the trend has been soften greens in recent years which I believe is by design.
Without question that closes the gap between the elite/past champions and the rest of the field.
In the last couple of years, you see so many players getting on in 2 on 13.
That never used to be common place.
One player who hates this is Tiger. He hates slow greens and has complained about it here before.
We shall see what we get.

I'm not ready to say he's going to win, but I like Rory this week. If the pressure of the Slam doesn't get to him...his game is about near peak form....he's going to have a lot of short irons into the greens if his driver is on.
I agree he might end up top 10 but then there is something telling me he might not even make the cut if he can't fix his putter. The greens will eat him alive if he struggles like he has been.lol...does that mean you think he will fare well this week?
I think he has a decent shot, maybe a top 10...Tiger needs to be in the final group and hope the crowds affect whomever he's paired with.

Yes whoever gets paired with him if he makes it to Saturday and Sunday will have to deal with some crazy crowd noise.

Typically loves AN greens so that will be something watch...kinda the same with Rory...he’s putted fairly well of late...if he can make the par putts in that 4-5’ range I expect him to be in the hunt on Sun.
