Augusta National's iconic 'Amen Corner' trio of holes promises to pose even more of a challenge to Tiger Woods and the rest of the field at the 86th Masters.
New look: Tiger Woods plays a shot on the 11th hole at Augusta National during a practice round prior to the 86th MastersAUGUSTA - Augusta National's iconic"Amen Corner" trio of holes promises to pose even more of a challenge to Tiger Woods and the rest of the field at the 86th Masters.
The change is one of the most drastic of several adjustments this year, which also include lengthening the par-five 15th from 530 to 550 yards. The second shot that Woods hit into the green in the final round of his 2019 triumph, a low draw around a tree, would basically no longer be an option."What they did on 11 is interesting," said Woods, who noted that the"Larry Mize shot" -- a pitch-in from right of the green to beat Greg Norman in a sudden death playoff in 1987 -- could no longer be repeated.
