This was a disadvantage at the Augusta that favours longer hitters. Thus , his second Par 5 fairway shots could not reach the green especially those that were guarded by the water hazards. Therefore , he had to rely on the third lofted pitch or putting skill to score a birdie or par. The veterans or top players will dominate the next US Masters at Augusta for many years to come. The game has now come to the point that it is the all rounder who will be the ultimate winner .
Long hitters have an edge over others but at the end of the day , it is how they arrive .
This old saying has finally lent more weight to the game. This new trend will put more pressure to the club manufacturers to come with new design that can be used to shape lofted and loft and roll shots or leave it to the top plyers to use other technique to create the same shots. Contenders ,on the other hand have to polish their knowledge or swings. In fact, it should be a help for the budding golfers to improve their swings or game.
