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.  |
I'll have to agree with league on this one. I haven't seen anything new with respect to Augusta's green speeds or pin locations that I haven't noticed in past years. This sort of thing is the only defense Augusta has ever had to stop the Masters from turning into a run-of-the-mill birdie fest. IMO, the weekend or at least the traditional Sunday pin placements usually allow for many birdie opportunities for those who can get the putter going.
