Part of The Masters charm and lore is having past champions participate in the events leading up to the tournament, as well as, the tournament itself. Now that some of these guys are abusing the honor something should be done. I go back to the Wednesday Champions Round as a crowd pleasing option. Champions Round in the morning....Par 3 contest in the afternoon. The former champions have earned the right to play in a Masters event and this fits the bill without detracting from the big show.

As for the greens today.....I say cool! This ain't a run of the mill tour stop and these ain't run of the mill greens. Any 10 year old who watches golf knows that Augusta's greens are going to be the toughest, if not the fastest, greens the players will see all year. Couple that with the fact these pros have been playing slow, rainsoaked, greens the last few weeks and you're going to see some train wrecks like we saw today. These guys are pros and they'll have the greens dialed in by the weekend. Those that don't won't be around to worry about it anyway.
