The masters 2012

  • Who knows what the next four days at Augusta National will bring, but we all can be sure that the 2012 Masters is the most anticipated major championship for years.

  • Best Masters moment: The 25-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole in the third round of 2011 that staked him to a four-shot lead going into the final round. Worst Masters moment: Losing a four-shot lead the next day with an 80 in the final round.

  • For all of the legendary finishes and memories created on Sunday at the Masters, what is often forgotten is that most of those golfers wouldnt be in the position for an epic finish if they hadnt played well enough over the course of the first three days.

  • AUGUSTA, Ga. — Perfection isn't so much a pursuit at Augusta National Golf Club as it is a practice. So there remains the possibility that, come Thursday morning, the azaleas, long since the victims of an early spring, will somehow bloom fresh.
  • (Washington Post)
  • The 2012 Masters is not going to play like a typical trip to Augusta due to heavy rain softening up the challenging greens of this iconic course. The course was soaked by 1.5 inches of rain from the first moments of Wednesday until the early morning.

  • This week all eyes are on the small town of Augusta, Ga., for the 2012 Masters Tournament.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • With less than twenty-four hours to go before the first shot of the 2012 Masters, the biggest storyline thus far isnt Tiger, Rory or Phil. Its the weather.

  • The architectural photographer Pedro E. Guerrero was a contemporary of the more famous Julius Shulman and trained at what is now the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Calif. After World War II, he lived in New Canaan, Conn.
  • (New York Times)
  • If you write about golf, the two biggest days at a major tournament are Tiger Tuesday and Whomever Sunday. This is Masters week, a cherished time in the sport. Tuesday was Tiger Tuesday, when he met the media to keynote his current state.
  • (Los Angeles Times)
  • Any whispers about whether the Masters had a negative mental effect were muted. The Northern Irishman continued his roll into the 2012 season, finishing in the top three in four of his five starts this year. In the other tournament, he finished fifth.
