A CLEVER idea by Golf magazine over here to imagine who might be on duty as honorary starters at The Masters 20 years from now.
They opted for a 61-year-old Tiger Woods, rival Phil Mickelson, who will be 66 and fitness fanatic Gary Player!
They reported: Now 101, Player pipes his drive 250 yards down the fairway, drops and does ten push-ups, then sprints down the fairway after his ball, as Woods and Mickelson try to keep up.
South African Player was living up to his reputation this week.
He tweeted: If you arent playing this weekend at The Masters, you should be practising. The grind never stops. The harder you practice, the luckier you get.
AUGUSTAS own Jeff Knox was pressed into action again yesterday to partner last-placed Ernie Els.
Knox has held the members course record an 11-under-par 61 for 15 years and has played with Masters champs Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson and Craig Stadler.
He famously partnered Rory McIlroy in 2013 and took money off him in a side bet! Jason Day was determined not to suffer the same fate when the traditional marker played with him on Saturday.
The ex-world No1 said: We didnt have a wager but I was still a bit worried when I bogeyed the second and he made par.
It was neck and neck for a while but then I had a run of four birdies in a row on the back nine to bring it home.
IT is no wonder Augusta patrons spectators to you and me are so obsessed with snapping up anything with the Masters logo on it.
Golf memorabilia is a big market, and Masters souvenirs are especially popular.
But flags and caps cannot compete with the price paid for Horton Smiths Green Jacket from his victory in the inaugural event back in 1934.
It went on sale four years ago and was bought for just over half a million pounds.
The buyers identity was not revealed but everyone assumes the winning bid came from a famous golf course in the heart of Georgia!
JORDAN SPIETH delivered a telling tribute to Arnold Palmer.
After carving his drive on the 13th into the trees earlier in the week, Spieth asked caddie Michael Greller: What would Arnold have done from here?
Greller said: Aim 20ft below the hole. Spieth came up short. His four iron finished 30ft below! It still led to a birdie the King would have been proud of.
