Ben Crenshaw’s final Masters
Tournament round Friday was
an emotional ride filled with
standing ovations, a reminder of
fellow Texan Ben Hogan and the
sight of his longtime caddie Carl
Jackson waiting for him behind
the 18th green as he finished.
Crenshaw, who has now
played in 44 Masters, announced
a year ago that this would be
his last time around Augusta
National as a participant. He
shot 91-85, but the fans didn’t
care. They just wanted to see him
one last time.
Of all the former champions,
only Arnold Palmer (50 starts
in a row), Doug Ford (46) and
Raymond Floyd (45) have played
in more consecutive Masters
than Crenshaw.
Crenshaw, 63, slapped hands,
gave out a few kisses, doffed his
hat numerous times and talked
to his good friend country music
star Larry Gatlin as he made his
way around the course he won
on in 1984 and 1995. Some fans
shouted, “Thanks, Ben” and oth-

It’s beginning to look a lot like 1997 at
Augusta National Golf Club.
Jordan Spieth showed no signs of letting up in Friday’s second round of the 79th
Masters Tournament, widening his lead to
five shots, breaking the 36-hole scoring record and setting himself up for a weekend
finish where Tiger Woods’ tournament scoring record could tumble.
As Spieth was marching toward a possible green jacket, two-time champion and
fellow Texan Ben Crenshaw was exiting.
Crenshaw missed the cut and is retiring
from the tournament after 44 consecutive starts. He is the last Texan to win the
Masters – 20 years ago.
Spieth, 21, shot a bogey-free 6-under-par
66 on Friday. Coupled with his opening 64,
Spieth’s 14-under 130 total broke by one
shot the 36-hole scoring record Raymond
Floyd set in 1976. Floyd would go on to win
by eight shots.
“That’s really cool,” Spieth said. “Any
time you can set a record here, that’s pretty
awesome.”
Woods’ 72-hole record is 18-under 270
in 1997, when he won by a record 12 shots.
To beat that, Spieth would have to shoot
5-under on the weekend.
Charley Hoffman, a three-time PGA Tour
winner ranked 63rd in the world, had a bogey-free round going Friday before losing
a shot to par on the 18th hole. He finished
with 68 to sit alone in second at 9-under.
Spieth, who is ranked No. 4 in the world
and tied for second in his Masters debut last
year, isn’t getting ahead of himself.
“This is only the halfway point. I’m aware
of that,” he said. “I feel comfortable this
year. I haven’t felt very nervous. I’ve felt in
a good place. I’m acting like nothing’s going
on and getting ready for tomorrow.
“I still need to not be focused on anybody
else, no scoreboard watching, set a goal and

ers said, “Thanks for the memories.”
“The people, I just will never
forget that as long as I live,” he
said. “Typical of not only myself
but all the champions here, people have a great affection for the
people who have won here. It’s
palpable. You can feel it.”
That’s especially true for the
man nicknamed Gentle Ben, who
feels so deeply about golf history
and the Masters. Plus, his dramatic victory in 1995 is considered one of the most memorable
in tournament history.
Hogan, the man nicknamed
the Hawk who also won two
Masters and died in 1997, might
have made an appearance Fri
day, Crenshaw said. It came on a

36-HOLE masters starts
Jordan Spieth established a new record
for the first 36 holes at the Masters
Tournament with a 14-under-par total. He
broke the previous mark of 13-under, set
by Raymond Floyd in 1976, and matched
the lowest 36-hole score for a major.

en Crenshaw flashed a Hook
’em Horns sign as he left the
Masters Tournament stage
for the final time. The last Texan
to win the green jacket ceded the
Augusta floor to perhaps the next
great Texas golfer.
“When I first met him, I tell
you, I’ll never forget it,” Crenshaw
said about Jordan Spieth before
the tournament. “I looked right
at him and he looked at me and
I thought I was looking at Wyatt
Earp. … He looks at you and he’s
going to gun you down.”
Earp was, among other
things, a lawman who survived
without a scratch the bloody gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Spieth, the

21-year-old ranked No. 4 in
the world, is turning the Masters
into his own version of
Tombstone.
Spieth followed a sterling 64
Thursday with another low-round
66 to set the 36-hole scoring record at 14-under par. His fiveshot lead at the halfway point

matches the largest in Masters
history.
“I’m amazed at Jordan,”
Crenshaw said. “He plays it like
he’s been here forever.”
In a very short window, Spieth
is threatening all sorts of forever
records at Augusta National.
A year ago through 61 holes
of his Masters debut, he led with
the chance to become the youngest winner in Masters history.
He’s a few months older now
than Tiger Woods was in 1997,
but he’s already pushing some
of the record numbers Woods
posted.
“I didn’t have that separation
after two rounds,” said Woods,
who sits 12 shots behind Spieth.
“I believe I only had a three-shot
lead at the time. So there’s a big
difference. He’s put out a big
enough gap between the rest of
the pack.”
Spieth is changing the way we
look at a 21-year-old at Augusta.
Woods tore the course apart with
his power 18 years ago, playing a
game nobody was familiar with,
as Bobby Jones once said of Jack
Nicklaus.
The young Texan, however, is
dissecting the course more surgically with precise irons, deft touch
and nearly flawless putting. He’s a

After plugging his drive in the fairway bunker, Jordan Spieth
figured he would have to settle for par. Instead, after
blasting out, he laced a hybrid shot from 228 yards out
to 3 feet and made the putt for birdie. It let him
keep his momentum going as he finished
with 66 and established the new
36-hole scoring record.

champions moment
Adam Scott, the 2013 Masters winner, isn’t ready
to concede this year’s tournament just yet.
Scott played his final six holes in 3-under fashion and is at 3-under 141 at the halfway point. He
trails Jordan Spieth by 11 shots, but knows anything can happen.
The Australian opened with 72 on Thursday,
and played his first nine in 1-under Friday. After a
bogey at the 12th, he turned it on with an eagle at
the 15th and birdies at Nos. 13 and 17. He bogeyed
the 18th for the second day in a row to finish with
69.

Charley Hoffman waits to putt on No. 8 in the second round. After an opening-round 5-under-par 67, he came out Friday
making birdies on five of 18 holes with a lone bogey. Hoffman and leader Jordan Spieth tee off at 2:55 p.m. today.
Birdies help Hoffman follow the leader
By David Lee
Staff Writer
Charley Hoffman put together two
rounds in the 60s and finds himself in
the final group today alongside red-hot
Jordan Spieth, but his first task on the
third day comes outside the course.
“I’m hoping my kids sleep in a little
bit (Saturday),” Hoffman said. “That’s
the first approach.”
The 38-year-old is riding a wave
of momentum in his second Masters
Tournament appearance, shooting
4-under-par 68 on Friday to sit five
shots back of Spieth in second place at
9-under.
Hoffman birdied five holes in the
second round and played bogey-free
until the 18th hole, where he finished
with 5 after failing to get up-and-down
from the left side.
A notable stretch came on the second
nine when he birdied three consecutive holes, Nos. 12, 13 and 14. He made
birdie putts of 8, 15 and 23 feet to stay
within range of Spieth’s record-setting
130 through 36 holes.

Hoffman finished only four strokes
shy of Raymond Floyd’s 131 in 1976,
but he still finds himself looking up to
21-year-old Spieth.
“I’m just playing golf, and I’ve only
played 36 holes, and we’ve got a lot of
golf left,” Hoffman said.
Hoffman entered with 11th-place
finishes in the past two events, but he
acknowledged that Saturdays were
rough those two weeks. He shot 79 at the
Valero Texas Open and 74 at the Shell
Houston Open, yet placed just outside
the top 10 each week.
“Hopefully, I play four good rounds
instead of three of them out here this
week,” he said. “I can’t say why I played
bad on Saturday the last couple (of)
weeks, but I felt comfortable. I got off
to a couple bad starts, bad breaks those
Saturdays.”
It certainly hasn’t been a bad start
at Augusta for the San Diego native. He
has just three bogeys to 10 birdies in two
rounds, including an eagle Thursday
on No. 15.
Hoffman made a 35-foot birdie putt
Friday on No. 2, followed by a 17-footer
for birdie on No. 5. He followed a strong
up-and-down for par on No. 10 with the
hot stretch around Amen Corner.
“I don’t think you can really press on
this golf course too much out there, and
I didn’t,” he said. “I was still aggressive
where I needed to be aggressive, and
took my medicine where I needed to
take my medicine.”

Jim Furyk entered Mas
ters Tournament play coming
off strong practice rounds,
but missed opportunities set
him back just enough to end
his week early.
Furyk shot 1-over-par 73
on Friday to finish 3-over,
one stroke off the cut that fell
at 2-over. It was just the third
time in Furyk’s 19 Masters
appearances that he missed
the cut.
The 44-year-old finished
in the top 25 each of the past
four years after missing the
cut in 2010. His two-round
total of 147 is his highest
since that year.
“I’m disappointed because I really had good
practices Monday through
Wednesday,” Furyk said. “I
felt really good about my
game. I really couldn’t have
asked for more from Monday
to Wednesday, and it didn’t
translate to the last couple
days.”
Furyk bogeyed four of the
first 11 holes Friday before
birdies on Nos. 13, 15 and 17
gave him a chance to make
the weekend. He played
the par-5s 1-over Thursday
and struggled making putts
Friday, including threeputts on Nos. 3 and 7 for bogeys.
“I actually played a lot
better today than yesterday
and didn’t get anything out
of it, so that’s frustrating,”
Furyk said.
Martin Kaymer, the 2014
U.S. Open champion and
winner of The Players Cham
pions hip, found himself
scrambling from the begin-
ning Friday to reach the cut,
and he fell short at 7-over by
shooting 75.
Kaymer is one of the more
decorated players to miss
the cut. Aside from the two
big wins in 2014, he won the
2010 PGA Championship and
made his third Ryder Cup
appearance last year. He entered the week ranked 14th
in the world.
It was Kaymer’s first
missed cut at the Masters
since 2011.
Tom Watson, 65, drew
memories of his two Masters
victories after shooting 71 in
the first round, but a secondround 81 knocked him out of
the weekend.
Watson shot 40 on the
front nine Friday and finished with triple bogey on
No. 18 to miss the cut for the
fifth consecutive year.
“Shooting under par
and having a chance to
make the cut, that was the
high,” Watson said. “The
low was today with the way I
played. I just didn’t perform
today.”
Fred Couples finished
at 9-over to miss the cut for
the first time since 2009.
He rebounded from an
opening-round 79 with 74
Friday, but the hill was too
steep to climb. It was just
his third missed cut in 31
Masters.
Two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer
missed the cut at 3-over after
a bogey on No. 15. Other
notable names to miss the
weekend were J.B. Holmes,
Brandt Snedeker and Billy
Horschel.

Dustin Johnson’s 36-hole total of 7-under-par 137 puts
him in a tie for third with Justin Rose and Paul Casey.
Johnson makes his
own history with
3 eagles in round
By Garry Smits
Morris News Service
There’s only one thing
more surprising than Dustin
Johnson’s record three eagles in one round at Augusta
National Golf Club on Fri
day:
He’s pretty sure that’s
never happened on any
course, at any level of golf,
although he’s been among
the longest hitters in almost
every tournament he’s played
in since junior golf.
Not even a casual round
with friends in his home town
of Myrtle Beach, S.C.?
“I think that’s the first
time,” he said. “It was pretty
special and a lot of fun.”
Johnson more than offset
an opening double bogey
with his first eagle at No.
2, and went on to eagle the
eighth and 15th holes and
mix in a birdie at the 13th to
get into contention with a 67
that matched his best Masters
round in six starts.
Johnson’s 36-hole total
of 7-under-par 137 earned a
tie for third with Justin Rose
and Paul Casey, seven shots
behind leader Jordan Spieth
and two behind second-place
Charley Hoffman.
Johnson will be in the
second group from the last
in today’s third round, playing with Rose.
Johnson has two rounds
and eight chances to tie his
own 2009 record of four eagles in one tournament that
he shares with Tiger Woods
(2010) and Bruce Crampton
(1974). Johnson is 9-under
on the par-5s this week and
is a cumulative 38-under on
the par-5s in 20 rounds at the
Masters. It all adds up to his
best position entering the
third round in his career at
Augusta. His previous best
was 15th in 2010.
No. 2 was the only par-5
that Johnson had not yet eagled. He has two at No. 8 and
two at No. 15.
He also didn’t have to
sweat over any cross-country
putts. The total distance of
his three eagle putts was 31
feet: an 18-footer at No. 2, an
11-footer at No. 8 and a 2-footer at No. 15.
The shortest distance
that Johnson had into any of
the par-5s was the 13th hole,
when he had 171 yards to
the hole. He hit an 8-iron too
the par-5s
How Johnson played
the par-5s in the second
round of the Masters
No. 2: 351-yard drive,
5-iron from 207
yards, made 18-foot
putt for eagle
3-iron from 252
yards, made 11-foot
putt for eagle
8-iron from 171 yards
over the green, chip
to 6 feet, made birdie
putt
5-iron from 204
yards, made 2-foot
putt for eagle
strong and over the green,
but chipped on and made a
6-footer for birdie.
His eagle at No. 2 also
quickly erased a double
bogey at No. 1 in which he
needed three shots to get on
the green and three putts
from 32 feet.
“Walking off (No.) 1, I was
just thinking to myself, ‘It’s
better doubling the first hole
than the last hole,’ ” he said.
“I wasn’t too upset. I knew
I had a lot of golf to go and
came right back and made up
for it at No. 2.”
Johnson added two impressive birdies on a 9-foot
putt at No. 5 and a 38-foot
putt at No. 16.
He needed a birdie at
No. 18 for sole possession of
third place but pushed his
drive into the trees on the
right, punched out, lobbed
his third shot onto the green
and missed an 8-foot par attempt.
A winner earlier this
season at the World Golf
Championship tournament at
Doral, Johnson said he’s due
to contend on the weekend
at Augusta. His best finish
was a tie for 13th in 2013. He
opened that tournament with
a 67 but then shot 4-over the
rest of the tournament.
“I always feel good at
Augusta,” he said. “I think
the golf course sets up well
for me. I just never really
played that well here. But
coming in this year, I felt really confident in my game.
I’ve been playing good golf
and I’m continuing to play
good golf. Hopefully it’s going
to keep getting better.”
understand that the course is going to
be harder and (not) have that affect my
goal going in, and then just try to strike
the ball the same way I have.”
Spieth’s caddie, Michael Greller,
added: “Certainly, we didn’t think we’d
be 14-under Wednesday night. It’s a good
first half. You don’t play two rounds to
win. It’s a good start.”
Next up is a shot at the 54-hole scoring record of 15-under 201, shot by
Floyd in 1976 and matched by Woods in
1997. Spieth can break that today with
70 or better.
Spieth and Hoffman will tee off at
2:55 p.m. today in the final pairing. The
field was trimmed to 55 players after the
cut, which fell at 2-over-par 146.
Spieth and Hoffman are two of only
three players to shoot in the 60s in the
first two rounds, separating them from
the field.
Dustin Johnson and Englishmen
Justin Rose and Paul Casey are seven
shots behind Spieth. Johnson, who set a
Masters record by making three eagles
(all on par-5s) Friday, shot 67, and Casey
had 68 and Rose 70.
Hoffman’s only previous Masters appearance before this year came in 2011,
when he tied for 27th.
“Jordan obviously is a few ahead. I’m
not going to be able to catch him in two
holes, so I got to keep doing what I’m
doing, hitting fairways and giving myself opportunities for birdie, and then
we’ll see what we got on the back nine
to maybe change the game plan a little
bit on Sunday,” Hoffman said.
Through two rounds, Spieth has hit
28 of 36 greens in regulation, found 20 of
28 fairways and had 25 putts each round.
He also has just one bogey (on No. 15 on
Thursday) to go with 15 birdies.
“I’ve just got to keep my head down
and find greens in regulation so that I
can continue to have looks (at birdies),”
said Spieth, who hasn’t had a three-putt.
Here’s how hot Spieth has been since
the first round of the Valspar Champion
ship on March 15. Counting Friday’s 66,
he’s 47-under par for those 14 rounds,
during which he hasn’t shot worse than
71. He won the Valspar, took a week off,

master of all trades.
“He’s definitely an old
head on young shoulders,
isn’t he?” said Henrik
Stenson, the No. 2 golfer in
the world who played 16
shots worse beside Spieth
for two rounds. “He’s playing strategically. He’s playing very mature. And, yeah,
not making too many mistakes.”
Spieth has only had one
bogey. His only hiccups
Friday were two missed
short birdie putts at 9 and
18. The longest par putt he
had to sweat was 6 feet on
No. 3.
“I’ve just got to keep my
head down and find greens
in regulation so that I can
continue to have looks,”
Spieth said. “I’m getting
some putts from mid-range
to go, and I don’t really need
to force anything.”
Of all his tools, Stenson
said Spieth’s “putting is the
one thing that stands out.”
“He’s made so many
great putts here,” Stenson
said. “And he’s made
so many hard, difficult,
Augusta putts, as well, with
perfect speed with so much
break and so much speedsensitive, coming down and
across. … that’s why he’s far
ahead of everyone else.”
Crenshaw – who finished
low amateur at Augusta at
20 and 21 years old – marvels at Spieth’s gifts.
“He’s way more mature
than what I was when I was
21,” Crenshaw said. “He has
things together. He has an
innate ability to score. … I
think one of the really wonderful things that I really do
like about him, he’s got competitive fire. You can see it. I
think he carries that off in a
great fashion.”
Jordan Spieth tees off on No. 17, one of his three closing pars. Spieth will tee
off at 2:55 p.m. today, and a round of 70 would break the 54-hole record.
then finished second and lost in a playoff in the two tournaments before the
Masters.
“It’s just kind of business as usual
for him,” said past U.S. Open champion
Geoff Ogilvy, who is 14 behind Spieth.
“It’s every single week he seems to be
on top of the leaderboard playing well.
It’s not that easy out there. It’s getting
blustery, and he’s obviously aware of his
skills at the moment and he’s loving it.”
In November, Spieth won the Aus
tralian Open by six shots, shooting a
final-round 63. In early December, he
won the unofficial Hero World Chal
Ernie Els, the four-time
major winner who sits nine
shots back, gushes about the
player who was nine months
old when Els played his first
Masters in 1994.
“What a player,” Els said.
“You just cannot see this kid
not win many, many majors.
I think he is by far the most
balanced kid I’ve seen. …
Jordan, you know, he’s got
that little tenacity to him
and he’s really got a fighting
spirit, and he’s the nicest kid
in the world.”
What sets Spieth apart
is he seems unafraid of the
moment. He doesn’t see
being 21 as an obstacle but
an opportunity.
“Seems like there’s been
quite a few guys that have
had success at a young age
here,” Spieth said. “I think
Seve (Ballesteros) won it
when he was 23, and Tiger
at 21. Obviously I’m not
comparing myself to those
guys in any way. But I’m saying, it’s only taken them a
time or two to figure it out
lenge at Isleworth by three shots, shooting 66-67-63-66 for a 26-under total.
“He played better than this at Isle
worth,” Greller said. “He was hitting on
all cylinders. It feels somewhat comparable to that.”
Rory McIlroy, 25, who can complete
the career Grand Slam with a victory
this week, is 12 shots behind Spieth. He
has shot a pair of 71s and is at 142.
Woods, who is playing for the first
time in nine weeks, is also at 142. He
has shot 73-69.

close out the tournament. It
means that it can be done.”
As easy as Spieth has
made it look for two days,
it’s too soon to celebrate.
They have a 10-shot rule at
Augusta for a reason, and
among the 10 guys within
that range are major winners Justin Rose, Phil
Mickelson and Ernie Els as
well as Dustin Johnson, who
played the par 5s Friday in
7-under. Things can change
dramatically.
“The hardest thing to
do is put aside wanting to
win so bad, and just kind of
going through the motions
and letting my ball striking
and putting happen,” Spieth
said. “I got off to a great start
and had a chance to win last
year on Sunday. I’d like to
have that same opportunity
this year. Again, this is only
the halfway point and I’m
aware of that. Not going to

Crenshaw’s Masters wins
File/staff
Ben Crenshaw makes a 6-foot birdie putt on
No. 10 on his way to winning the 1984 Masters.
1984
Ben Crenshaw will always be remembered for
being one of the greatest putters in golf history,
but not even “Gentle Ben” could have predicted he
would make a 60-foot birdie putt on the 10th hole
in the final round of the 1984 Masters.
That unexpected birdie completed three in a row,
and Crenshaw held on to win his first Masters.
It was a day that had been in the making for
years. As a hotshot amateur coming out of the
University of Texas, Crenshaw had dominated the
college ranks and was expected to be a force in the
majors.
He had come so close so many times in the
past 11 years, only to fail, that there were doubts in
Crenshaw’s mind.
“I’ve finished second (in the Masters) by one
shot. I’ve lost in a playoff at the PGA. I hit it in the
water on the 71st hole of the U.S. Open and doublebogeyed the 71st hole at the British Open when I
had a chance to win. You start wondering whether
you are really going to hold yourself together,”
Crenshaw said.
Crenshaw made up a two-shot deficit against
rival Tom Kite at the start of the round to take the
lead at the ninth hole and held it the rest of the way.
He finished with 11-under-par 277, two shots
better than Tom Watson.
“Today was my day. I was determined I was not
going to let any shots slip today,” Crenshaw said.
File/staff
Crenshaw is consoled by caddie Carl Jackson
after his one-shot win over Davis Love III in 1995.
Crenshaw had played despite mourning a friend.
1995
Ben Crenshaw might not have won the 1995
Masters Tournament had Carl Jackson not taken the
“caddie shortcut” to the edge of the ninth fairway at
Augusta National Golf Club to save some time.
The move put Jackson about 150 yards away
from Crenshaw, who was teeing off on No. 9.
It allowed Jackson to see two flaws in Crenshaw’s
swing during a pivotal practice round and helped set
in motion Crenshaw’s unlikely victory.
Crenshaw was struggling with his game – and his
emotions. Famed golf instructor Harvey Penick, who
helped Crenshaw when he had swing problems, had
died the previous Sunday.
Crenshaw traveled to Austin, Texas, for Penick’s
funeral, the day before the first Masters round.
“I was an emotional wreck; my concentration
was not there,” Crenshaw said. “My game was bad
and so was I after that news Sunday night (about
Penick’s death).”
When Crenshaw returned from Penick’s funeral,
he came back with confidence in his game, thanks
to the changes Jackson had suggested.
Playing with memories of Penick in his head,
Crenshaw went out and shot 70-67-69-68. His
14-under-par 274 clipped Davis Love III by a shot.
At the end, Crenshaw buried his face in his hands
and broke down crying. He later credited Jackson
with helping him win, and through the emotional
ending.
“When that final putt dropped, I dropped,” Cren
shaw said. “I couldn’t even breathe, I was crying so
hard. (Carl) helped me up. He’s a very, very tender
man. And a great friend.”
– From staff reports
Ben Crenshaw and caddie Carl Jackson wave to the gallery after his final putt on No. 18. Jackson caddied for Crenshaw
during the Par-3 Contest but couldn’t during the Masters because of tender ribs. He donned his caddie jumpsuit Friday.

Continued from 1M
to Hogan.
“We were playing the
12th hole, we were going
across the Hogan Bridge and
there is a red-tailed hawk on
the ground right next to the
green,” Crenshaw said. “And I
have a decent putt at a birdie,
and (playing partner) Jason
Dufner said, ‘Ben Hogan’s
watching. You’d better make
that putt.’ And of course I
choked, choked on it and
missed it. It was just surreal.
It was really a neat moment.
But that’s kind of the way this
place is. It’s got some revelations about it. It’s rich in lore
and always will be.”
More than 200 friends of
Crenshaw from his hometown
of Austin made the trip to see
him play in the Masters one
last time. Most of them wore
orange hats (in honor of the
University of Texas) with the
phrase “the last walk” on the
back.
“There will be a vacuum
that is going to be hard to
fill,” said Crenshaw’s brother
Charlie, who walked every
hole Friday. “He’ll be there,
but not playing. It’s going to
be tough.”
Fellow Texan and Masters
leader Jordan Spieth played
golf at Texas, as did Crenshaw,
a mentor to him.
“He’s mentioned to me
he’s going to be here every
year anyways and be as much
a part of the tournament as
he can be,” Spieth said. “He

joked that he’ll be sitting with
a beer and a sandwich in the
crowd on No. 15 or something.
I highly doubt that.
“But yeah, it’s very special
and it’s really kind of a shame
and sad for the tournament to
be losing him. Legends have
to go at some point, right?”

whole way with Crenshaw
and was in the gallery for both
his friend’s Masters victories,
Gatlins make road
trip to see Crenshaw
By Doug Stutsman
Staff Writer
The Gatlin Brothers spent
all Thursday night in a bus, as
the country music group made
a 393-mile trek from Nashville,
Tenn., to Augusta National Golf
Club.
They weren’t going to miss
Ben Crenshaw’s final round.
The friendship between
Crenshaw and the Gatlin
Brothers – Larry, Steve and
Rudy – spans more than three
decades and involves a unique
tie to the Masters Tourna
ment.
“When Ben won in 1984, me
and Larry were staying in his
house,” Steve Gatlin said. “We
were his house guests. That
was one of the greatest weeks
of my life. In all seriousness,
it actually felt like I won the
Masters.”
Steve Gatlin first came to
the Masters in 1983 and has
rarely missed since.
But it’s his second Masters
visit that stands out.
“It’s the greatest sports
memory of my life,” Steve said
of staying with Crenshaw in
1984. “Ben’s a Texas guy, and
these Texans we’ve known forever.”
The youngest brother,
Rudy Gatlin, took a spring
skiing vacation during the
1 9 8 4 Masters, Steve said
Friday while standing outside
the Augusta National
clubhouse.
“It’s his miss, not mine,”
said Steve, laughing.
“In Rudy’s defense, though,
he had no idea Ben was going
to win the green jacket. If he
did, I’m sure he would’ve been
here.”
Friday evening, after Cren
shaw’s final round, the Gatlin
Brothers were scheduled to
perform at a dinner ceremony
for the two-time Masters champion.
“There’s a get-together for
Ben and we’re gonna perform
a few songs,” Steve said. “We’re
so excited and honored to be
part of this experience.”
Reach Doug Stutsman at (706) 823-3341
was thinking about a line in a
song he wrote recently as he
walked along.
“It’s one of the best lines
I’ve ever written in my life,”
Gatlin said. “One friend was
talking to the other one about
how getting old was sad. The
line is, ‘If it wasn’t for the passage of time, we wouldn’t have
had the times we’ve had.’ ”
On the 18th hole, Crenshaw
was walking up the left side of
the fairway when he spotted
a familiar figure behind the
green, which is elevated from
the fairway. It was the 68-yearold Jackson, who had caddied for him 38 times before
having to sit this one out because of tender ribs. Jackson
didn’t caddie in the practice
rounds, either, but did in the
Par-3 Contest with Crenshaw
and two other legends in the
group – Jack Nicklaus and
Gary Player.
Jackson had changed into
his caddie jumpsuit and was
waiting behind the green
with Masters Chairman Billy
Payne.
“Carl is tall enough to
where I saw him way back
there. I thought, ‘Oh, right,
he’s there.’ ” Crenshaw said.
“I could barely see him up
there. It was a great, great
sight to see Carl back there,
and I wouldn’t have had it any
other way.”
After Crenshaw putted
out for bogey, Jackson walked
down to the same green where
he comforted his friend when
he broke down after winning
the 1995 Masters in the memory of his teacher and friend
Harvey Penick, who had died
a week earlier.
During a long hug on the
green Friday, Crenshaw told
Jackson “I love you, and
he said, ‘I love you,’ back,”
Crenshaw said. “Can’t be
anymore succinct than that.
We feel about each other that
way; we’ve always been that
way. We know how much each
other has meant to the other
one, and it’s very powerful.”

INTERVIEW WITH LORAN SMITH
This Masters Tournament is full of Georgia Bull
dogs, so what’s one more going to hurt?
Loran Smith, 76, has been coming to the Masters
since 1960, and it remains one of his favorite events.
“I was a college student at Georgia and I came
over,” Smith said Friday. “I think I wrote a column
about it afterwards for the Athens
Banner-Herald, and I saw this great
excitement and I decided this is
something I want to do every year. So
in 1961 I asked for a credential, and
this is my 55th year.”
Smith received the Masters Major
Achievement Award, given to those
who have covered the tournament
for 40 years or more. He still writes a
Smith
column for the Banner-Herald and has
produced many books on golf and football.
“It’s been an uplifting experience and an enlight
ening experience,” said Smith, who has enjoyed time
with noted writers Dan Jenkins and Furman Bisher.
“They are outstanding writers and had great insights,
but I think the thing that put them apart from most
writers is they had that reverence for the Masters.”
His favorite Masters memory came in 1986 when
Jack Nicklaus won for a record sixth time. He had
developed a relationship with the Nicklaus family be
cause their only daughter, Nan, attended Georgia.
“I think it’s the classiest sporting event and I’ve
tried to think about it a little bit, only Wimbledon and
Kentucky Derby come close to the Masters,” Smith
said. “But there’s just nothing like coming to the
Masters. Getting here on Thursday morning and see
ing Nicklaus, Palmer and Player hit their tee shots,
because you can reflect back on when it was different
and they teed off feeling they had a chance to win.”
Smith has had a long association with Georgia’s
athletic teams, and he is best known for his years as a
sideline reporter during football games. These days,
he does the pregame show and has a postgame com
mentary. Smith’s loyalties will be tested because today
is the annual G-Day spring football game. He will be
back in Athens this morning to emcee a breakfast.
“As soon as that’s over, I’m going to wish coach
(Mark) Richt luck and come back to the Masters,”
Smith said.
HISTORY LESSON
Ansley Thurmond gets high-fived by Ben Crenshaw.
All eyes have been on Texas golfers this week with
Ben Crenshaw’s farewell and Jordan Spieth’s opening
64. Seven golfers from the Lone Star state have won in
Augusta, and they account for 12 victories. That’s more
than any other state can boast.
To read more about Texas greats Ben Hogan
and Byron Nelson, visit golfhistory.augusta.com.
THE LIST
The third round of professional golf tournaments
is known as moving day. It’s when players make their
move; if they’re way back, they can go for broke.
If they’re near the top, they want to maintain that
position. Here are five of the biggest moves in the
third round of the Masters:
Steve Pate, 1999: Round of 65 featured seven
consecutive birdies.
Tiger Woods, 2005: Seized the lead with seven
consecutive birdies in a round that didn’t finish
until Sunday morning.
Johnny Miller, 1975: Set record of 30 on front nine
that included six consecutive birdies.
Ben Hogan, 1967: 54-year-old shot 66 that included
30 on second nine and thrilled crowd.
Nick Price, 1986: Set course record of 63 with 10
birdies after bogey on first hole.

Jason Day prepares to hit from the sand on No. 7, where he made the third of his five bogeys in the second round.
Day loses ground in poor round
By Wayne Staats
Staff Writer
Friday is usually Jason Day’s round
to strengthen his status as a threat.
This year, he’s barely in leader
Jordan Spieth’s rearview mirror.
After beginning the day at 5-under
and three shots off the lead, Day couldn’t
keep pace with Spieth and others. His
2-over 74 dropped him to 3-under for the
Masters Tournament and 11 back of the
lead. Of his four career Friday rounds at
Augusta, this was his worst.
“The momentum was rolling my
way,” Day said. “I hit a couple of good
shots, got a couple of good bounces and
rolled in a few good putts at the right
time and I walk off with 67. Do the exact
same (Friday) and you don’t get the right
bounces, you don’t hole the putts that
you need to, to give yourself the oppor
tunities, and walk off with a 74. It’s a fine
line between playing fantastic golf and

not playing great.”
Of Day’s three career Masters rounds
in the 60s, two happened in the second
round, perhaps a sign of a push before
moving day. But Day never found rhythm
Friday. Even with an eagle on No. 2 –
his second at the hole in just his fifth
Masters start – he lost two strokes.
The Australian had three bogeys in
the first seven holes after getting just two
Thursday. His two three-putts Friday
were his first of the tournament.
Day appeared in good shape when
he reached 6-under with his eagle, set
up when his second shot landed 10 feet
from the pin. But by the time he got to
the 15th hole, he was at 2-under. A bird
ie on No. 15 brought him back a shot, but
he was well behind Spieth by then.
“I can’t control what he’s doing right
now,” Day said about the leader. “If he’s
going to go out and play and shoot a re
cord-setting tournament, then obviously
that’s just in his hands. The only way I
can do it is just try and give myself the
opportunities and find something on
the range (Friday) afternoon to really
commit and trust my swing.”

After two rounds, Ernie Els
is nine strokes off the lead
set by Jordan Spieth.
I didn’t have my scoring cap
on; I’ve just got to be closer.”
Els hit his approach over
the green on No. 5, short-sid
ed himself on 7, three-putted
10 and missed a short putt
on the 11th to account for his
four bogeys. But he birdied
each of the par 5s, including
Nos. 13 and 15, to get back to
level par for the day.
“So that’s the four mis
takes I made, and I paid for
it,” Els said. “But I felt like
I played well. I hit the ball
well, kept my patience up.
But you’re going to do that
around here. I didn’t get it up
and down when I needed to.
But I felt in control, patient.
And I feel I’ve got a couple
rounds in me when I get it
altogether.”
Els hopes his experience
in 21 Masters starts plus a
pair of low weekend rounds
might apply some pressure to
the 21-year-old Spieth.
“I don’t want to wish any
thing bad, but if he takes his
foot off the gas and gives you
a bit of hope to catch him,”
Els said. “But I would love
two 67s. … There’s also been
real good comebacks. It’s not
over. Big weekend ahead, a
lot of golf to be played.”
Els, 45, was one of the chas
ers in 1997 when a 21-yearold Tiger Woods lapped the
field by 12 strokes and set the
Masters scoring record at 18under par. Els also suffered a
disproportionate number of
high finishes behind Woods
at his peak.
“Yeah, there’s some
scars,” he said of Woods’ 1997
win. “But it’s 18 years away
now, so I think I’m over it.”

McIlroy makes up
for bogeys in time
By Wayne Staats

Defending champion Bubba Watson gives a yell after teeing off on No. 15, where he made par for the second day in a
row. Watson ranks high in the field in driving and greens in regulation, but his putting has been a problem so far.
Watson stays steady with 71
By Wayne Staats
Staff Writer
Earlier this week, Bubba Watson
kept saying he felt better as defending
champion this time than he did as one
in 2013.
He certainly has made that clear,
even if he’s not chasing down Jordan
Spieth’s huge lead just yet.
Watson, a two-time Masters Tour
nament champion, shot 1-under 71 for
the second day in a row to be 2-under
for the tournament. It was a strikingly
better start than two years ago, when
Watson shot 75-73 in his first defense.
“The last two days have been great
ball-striking-wise, but I just have to
make the putts. I had three three-putts,

if I just had those three-putts back, I’d

Through two rounds, the long-hitting
Watson tied for fourth in the field in
driving, averaging 296.5 yards. He also
tied for third by hitting 28 greens in
regulation.
But he has needed 64 putts, leaving
him toward the bottom. Watson, who
crushed the par-5s a year ago, going
8-under, had a rare miss at No. 8 on
Friday with a bogey.
Watson earlier bogeyed No. 4, but
he also birdied Nos. 2, 13 and 17. He
got on the green in two on 17, sinking a
short putt to get to 2-under for the tournament.
“I’m not as scared or nervous as I was
a couple years ago,” Watson said of his
first Masters defense, when he was 55th
after two rounds. “The golf course is still
very difficult. I just haven’t executed the
way I needed to on the greens.”
In his two Masters wins, Watson was
in third place after two rounds in 2012
and in first in 2014. He would need a
big comeback this year to get a third
green jacket.
“If I come out to a hot start (Friday),
have a great weekend, you never know
what can happen,” Watson said.

Instead, the 65-year-old
came nowhere close to recapturing the magic that led
to his opening-round 1-underpar 71. Watson opened his
second round with a bogey
and finished with a disastrous triple bogey.
Instead of making the cut
for the first time since 2010,
Watson stumbled to 81 and
finished tied for 87th.
positive spin: Chris Kirk
was able to laugh with family and friends after a round
Friday that included a double bogey and two bogeys, the
last caused by hitting the pin
on the 18th green.
“Did you not like the 18
pin?” one supporter asked.
The 29-year-old, making
his second Masters Tourna
ment appearance, smiled.
“That kind of stuff happens occasionally,” he said.
“I just hit it a little bit too on
line, and it almost bounced all
the way back to the bunker.”
Kirk also had three birdies in his round of 73, which
took him to 1-over-par for the
tournament.
Kirk, one of seven former
University of Georgia players in the field, kept having
trouble on the par-3 No. 4,
which he bogeyed Thursday.
He landed in the bunker Fri
day, then hit his second shot
over the green before finishing with double bogey.

Stenson made the cut

then carding three pars to

Playing in his 10th Mas

was uncertain to play Friday
after seeing a doctor after the
first round. He battled flu the
week before and continues to
deal with symptoms.

Casey lined up a long, downhill birdie putt on No. 18 with
rumbles of thunder over-
head, perhaps the necessary
distraction to lag it close to
the hole.
He made several par
saves, including a strong twoputt on the 18th, combined
with four birdies to shoot
4-under-par 68 on Friday,
putting him in a tie for third
at 7-under.
Casey faced a treacherous
39-foot putt down the slope
on the 18th green as thunder
closed in late in the day. He
got it to three feet and made
par to stay within range for
the weekend.
“(The thunder) was more
distracting,” Casey said. “I
had a difficult putt as it was
on 18. Maybe it was a good
distraction to take away how
difficult it was.”
in good shape: Justin Rose
doesn’t own a green jacket,
but he’s no stranger to making noise at the midway mark
of the Masters Tournament.
Rose opened Thursday
with 5-under 67 and backed
that up Friday with 2-under
70 to grab a share of third
place with Dustin Johnson
and Paul Casey.
In Rose’s 10 Masters appearances, he has held the
lead in 2004, sat in fourth
place in 2007 and placed seventh in 2013 after 36 holes.
On Friday, the 2013 U.S.
Open champion recovered
from a shaky start with three
early bogeys dropping him
to 2-under for the week.
However, he found six birdies over the last 14 holes,
leaving him seven shots behind leader Jordan Spieth.
His 67 on Thursday tied
his best round played in a
Masters, and the last time he
reached the midway mark in
the top five he produced his
best Masters finish, tying for
fifth in 2007.
– From staff reports
Rory McIlroy stood on the
10th tee Friday wondering
whether he would even make
the cut.
It was the perfect time for
the world’s top-ranked player
to find his form.
McIlroy followed a frontnine 40 with a second-nine 31
to get to 2-under for the tournament and safely through
the cut. Before his run on
the final nine holes, he was
3-over and in danger of not
playing this weekend.
“It was definitely a tale
of two nines,” McIlroy said.
“I just didn’t have it on the
front nine – started off with
a bogey. I felt like anything
I was trying to do out there
wasn’t really going my way. I
was standing on the 10th tee
3-over-par for the tournament
and just trying to get myself
in for the weekend.”
After the turn, McIlroy
carded four birdies, an eagle
and just one bogey.
On his eagle at the par-5
13th, his second shot landed
about three feet from the hole
for an easy eagle putt. On the
17th, he made birdie despite
overshooting the green on his
second shot. He then birdied
No. 18 to finish his 31.
“To shoot 5-under on that
back nine, it makes me feel
a bit better about myself
going into the last 36 holes,”
McIlroy said. “I’ll need to try
and play a couple rounds like
Jordan (Spieth) did over the
weekend to have a chance.”
McIlroy, who’s seeking to
finish the career Grand Slam,
is 12 behind the 14-under
Spieth. However, McIlroy
knows what can happen to a
leader when things go wrong.

Mickelson muscles
way into contention
By Doug Stutsman
Staff Writer
As clouds rolled over
Augusta National Golf Club
late Friday afternoon, Phil
Mickelson quietly stormed
into contention.
Mickelson made four
birdies on the second nine
to card 68 and enters the
weekend eight shots behind
leader Jordan Spieth.
“Obviously a very good
back nine,” said Mickelson,
who’s at 6-under for the tournament. “We got a little lucky
with the later tee time, as the
wind started to die down a little bit around Amen Corner.
There was still a little wind,
but nothing like earlier in
the day.”
Mickelson played Friday’s
first nine at even par before
closing with birdies on Nos.
11, 13, 15 and 17. He said a
highlight was his second shot
on No. 17.
“I thought I hit a pretty
good drive but it ended up
being in the rough,” he said.
“But because the wind was
helping, I was able to get a
wedge over the trees and
pushed it far enough to get to
the pin. From there, I made a
good putt coming back.”
Mickelson was quick to
point out there’s still a lot of
golf to be played.

“When I went out today,

about to play a difficult golf

he said. “It was tough to be
patient. It was tough not
to force the issue. Making
some dumb mistakes would
have been very easy to do.
Saturday, I’ll have the same
goal and that’s to go out and
shoot a good round.”
Mickelson, however, did
admit Spieth will be tough to
catch. “He was playing some
of the best golf coming into
the tournament and he’s playing the best golf in the tournament,” Mickelson said. “I
expect him to continue that,
but if something were to happen, I want to be there.”

Patrick Reed celebrates after chipping in from the sand for birdie on No. 18, closing out an even-par round that kept
him at 2-under for the tournament. He was just 1-under on the par-5s Friday after getting birdies on all four Thursday.
Reed delivers exciting finish
By Doug Stutsman
Staff Writer
After finding a greenside bunker on No.
18, Patrick Reed decided not to play his third
shot toward the pin.
Instead, the former Augusta State star
blasted a sand wedge “30 to 40 feet right” and
watched it trickle down the ledge.
“Throughout the years, I’ve seen that
shot played about 50 times,” Reed said.
“I knew if I went at the pin, there’s no
chance of getting it close. So I went way
right and was hoping to get it within six to
10 feet.”
Instead, Reed’s ball crept near the pin and
dropped for birdie.
“When I saw Keegan (Bradley) raise his
hand, I knew it was in,” Reed said. “It was
pretty sweet ending my day like that, especially after not playing very well.”
Reed shot even-par 72 on Friday to enter
the weekend 2-under, 12 shots behind leader
Jordan Spieth.
After making birdies on all four par-5s
Thursday, Reed was just 1-under on Nos. 2, 8,
13 and 15 on Friday.
“For the weekend, I have to drive like I
did today and hit iron shots and putt like I
did yesterday,” Reed said. “Hopefully someone can go out and put a little pressure on
(Spieth), but all I can control is my own golf
ball.”
With such a large deficit, Reed admitted
he’ll need help from Spieth to get in contention.
“I’m going to try to shoot a couple rounds
in the 60s, hopefully low 60s,” he said. “But
at the same time, we’re going to need help
from Jordan.
“If he’s going to go out and shoot a few
under par each day this weekend, that
means he’ll be around 20-under at the end
of the week. If he’s 20, that means I have to go
9-under, 9-under to tie. So, yeah, we’re going
to need help.”
After carding just one
birdie in his opening round,
Larry Mize stated a clear goal
heading into Friday: Make
more.
“I succeeded,” said Mize,
laughing. “But even though
I made four birdies today, it
was still a struggle out there.
I’m just not controlling the
ball very well right now.”
Mize shot 73 on Friday,
improving by five strokes
from the day before.
The 1987 Masters champion holed birdie putts on
Nos. 12 and 13 but carded a
double bogey on No. 15.
“That one hurt,” Mize
said. “You hate to make doubles any time, especially on a
par-5. I hit a pitching wedge
into 15, thought it was perfect, but it ended up going a
little long. From there I hit a
poor pitch-and-run and then
hit two bad putts.”
The Augusta native said
the most disappointing part
is letting down local fans.
“I hate coming here and
playing poorly because I re-

Augustan has
blast caddying
in 1st Masters
Na cards
66 to get
in top 10
By Nathan Dominitz
Morris News Service
There was little to indicate Kevin Na was going
to have a special round
Friday.
The 31-year-old with one
career PGA Tour victory
has missed two cuts in four
previous tries at the Masters
Tournament. Of the 13 rounds
he’d played in Augusta, only
two were under par.
He also has a cold.
So he went out Friday and
shot his best round ever at
Augusta National Golf Club,
6-under-66, which vaulted
him into the top 10.
“I figured the cut was
going to be 2-over,” Na said
after the round, which bested
his fourth-round 68 in 2012.
“Not thinking so much about
the cut, my goal was to shoot
something in the 60s, get it
back under par for the weekend.”
He dropped to 4-under
for the tournament, with an
eagle at the par-5 13th; birdies on Nos. 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 16;
and bogeys at Nos. 4 and 15.
Na said it was his par at
No. 1 that made him think his
game was on.
“I hit it over the green on
1, looking like it was dead,”
he said. “I had an unbelievable chip to about 6 inches,
and that kind of got my round
going.”
His 2-over round Thursday
didn’t have many highlights,
with only three birdies. He
said his iron play was off and
he was “a little under the
weather, a little sick.”
All of his birdie putts
Friday were from about 10
feet or closer to the cup.
The eagle began with a
drive off the tee “to a perfect spot,” he said. “(Then) I
needed to hit a high 5-wood
and fly it to the top (of the
green) and stop it. And as
soon as it came off the club
face, I knew it was going to be
good – somewhere, I would
say, about 10 feet or so. And
then it was a quick, slippery
putt and I hit it perfect, right
in the center and won a nice
crystal.”
Na’s best finish at the
Masters is a tie for 12th in
2012.

Erik Compton putts on No. 2 in the second round of the Masters Tournament. Aside from
a pair of bogeys each round and three birdies, he’s shot par consistently in his debut.
Compton’s consistent play
good, but very frustrating
By Fletcher Page
Morris News Service
Erik Compton parred
the first 12 holes in Friday’s
second round at the Masters
Tournament, just like he did
in the first round.
That consistency has been
encouraging and frustrating
for the 35-year-old, who shot
even-par 72 Friday and is
1-over for the tournament.
“You know how hard it is
to not make birdies? To go
out and try to make par on
every hole and you can’t do
it,” he said.
Playing in his first Mas
ters, Compton’s initial round
led to a change in how he
played the par-5 13th. He hit
his driver in the woods for
bogey Thursday. He changed
to a 3-wood Friday, hit a close

approach with his 5-iron and
birdied.
“First-timers here, you’re
kind of out there in the dark,”
Compton said. “Course really hasn’t given me anything.
It’s been really hard work, no
lucky putt or something to
get the round going. I think
it’s hard for me to read the
greens because I haven’t
played out here.”
Compton’s inexperience
led to a bogey on No. 15 when
he went for the green with
his 4-iron and found water.
“We thought it was downwind. Just kind of a rookie
mistake,” he said.
The biggest challenge,
he said, has been gaining
the confidence to push his
approach shots. He’s consistently 30 feet from the hole
on his first putt, leaving him
few birdie opportunities.
“Once you get a few putts
to drop, you can play a little
bit more aggressive,” he said.
“I was trying to make the
weekend. Now, I can play a
little more aggressive.”
First-time Masters Tour
nament caddie Alex Boyd
didn’t need directions to
Augusta.
Boyd returned to his
hometown to carry the bag
for Ben Martin, a friend and
former golf teammate at
Clemson University. Next
week’s RBC Heritage tournament at Hilton Head Island,
S.C., marks one year for the
golfer-caddie team.
Returning to Augusta for
the Masters has been the
highlight of the past year,
with Martin’s October win
in Las Vegas a close second,
Boyd said.
“Winning is pretty high up
there, but what makes winning so great is knowing that
you’re coming here (to the
Masters). Without a doubt,
this is by far the pinnacle
of the year,” Boyd said after
Martin finished his round
Thursday. Martin was 4-overpar after his second round
Friday.
Boyd graduated from
Augusta’s Academy of Rich
mond County in 2007 before
playing golf at Clemson.
Martin was two years ahead
of him in school.
When Martin decided to
switch caddies last year, he
phoned his former teammate.
Boyd made the tough decision to put aside his professional golf pursuits to carry
the bag for his friend.
“Obviously, the dream was
to play. That didn’t quite pan
out. This opportunity come
up to work for Ben and it
was just too good to pass up,”
Boyd said. “He and I are such
a good team together that it
made sense to forgo playing.
It’s different caddying than
playing, but it’s still just as
much fun to be out here.”
Boyd, 26, has played Au
gusta National four times
and even worked at the driving range for two years during the Masters. Caddying
has forced him to look at the
course differently.
“It’s a course you learn
something different every
day,” he said. “It is so much
different during the week
than it is playing it.”
Boyd said the Masters is
a different experience than
other tournaments because
it is in his hometown. He
saw familiar faces in the galleries, slept at his family’s
house, enjoyed home-cooked
food and didn’t have to learn
his way around town.
“Growing up, the Masters
is in our blood. Getting to be
here and working is a blast
from start to finish,” he said.

Standing halfway between the
clubhouse oak tree and umbrellas,
Charles Coody was greeted by an unexpected patron Friday morning.
“My gosh, here comes my buddy
Rudy Gatlin,” said Coody, as one-third
of the Gatlin Brothers music group
walked toward the 1971 Masters
champion. “We’re all from Abilene,
Texas. Well, we were all from Abilene
until Rudy’s family made a mistake
and moved to Odessa.”
Gatlin laughed as the two embraced. It was the first time the
Texans had seen each other in more
than a year. Not far behind Rudy
were the other Gatlin Brothers, Larry
and Steve, who also hugged Coody.
“You see?” said Coody, as he pointed toward the clubhouse oak. “This is
where people come to reconnect. You
never know who you’ll see.”
For generations, players, media
and Augusta National members and
guests have shared stories beneath

the storied tree.
Early Friday, sports writer Loran
Smith and Gary Player drank lemonade as Smith offered condolences to
the three-time Masters champion.
“I hadn’t seen Gary since his
brother, Ian, passed away,” Smith
said.
Smith says he views the oak tree
“as a reunion spot,” where each April
he greets new faces and reconnects
with decades-old friends.
“It’s the most wonderful gathering
spot,” he said. “It’s pleasant, shady
and not overly crowded. The oak and
umbrellas are among my favorite
places in the world.”
Earlier in the week, Smith had
spent time with Masters champions Coody, Tommy Aaron and Bob
Goalby.
“Some people come here and stay
here all day,” Coody said of the tree.
“I mean, they don’t watch a single golf
shot. Personally, I can’t stand up that
long, but there’s no question it’s an
honor to be under these branches. It’s
a great way to see old friends.”
The Gatlin Brothers have been
coming to the Masters for more
than 30 years, and they rode in from
Nashville, Tenn., on Thursday night
to see friend Ben Crenshaw’s last
Masters round.
“I just love running into old
friends like this,” Steve Gatlin said.
“We’ve traveled to a lot of places, but
it’s tough to beat this right here.”
‘Buffy’ actress addresses want for women’s fashions with clothing line
By Meg Mirshak
Staff Writer
CHRIS THELEN/STAFF
Kristy Swanson, who played Buffy in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer
movie in 1992, poses for a picture at the Masters Tournament. She
wore a dress from her venture, aDRESSitGOLF women’s fashion line.
Actress Kristy Swanson, star of
the 1992 movie Buffy the Vampire
Slayer, attended the Masters
Tournament on Friday wearing a
dress from her new fashion line of
women’s golf attire.
Swanson launched the aDRESSitGOLF clothing line in March
2014 after her experiences playing
in celebrity golf tournaments and
searching for an outfit that suited
women on the course. Women’s golf
attire mostly featured collared polo
shirts that lacked the style she wanted, Swanson said during her visit to
Augusta National Golf Club.
“I wanted something very com-
fortable that dried very easy and
packed very easy but was feminine. I
didn’t want to look like a dude when
I played golf,” she said.
On Friday, Swanson, 45, wore
a sleeveless, patterned dress with
black, gray and white stripes and red
flowers. The dress hit above the knee
and had a small pocket on the lower
back to hold golf tees or a glove.
Swanson acts in two to three
made-for-TV movies a year, and
she is producing two films this year.
She also starred in The Chase with
Charlie Sheen in 1994.
The idea to design women’s golf
clothes began when she wore a casual, everyday dress to play in the
Murray Bros. Caddyshack Charity
Golf Tournament. The dress was de-
signed by friend Eva Varro.
“Everybody went over the top

said. “I thought maybe there’s something to this.”
She teamed up with Varro to design the aDRESSitGOLF label. They

Woods concedes nothing,
says, ‘Anything can happen’
By Chris Gay

Staff Writer
Tiger Woods is a dozen shots off
the pace, but he’s conceding nothing. After an opening 73, Woods
bounced back with 3-under-par 69
in the second round of the Masters
Tournament. With his 2-under total,
he is 12 shots behind leader Jordan
Spieth.
“I’m 12 back, but there’s not a lot
of guys ahead of me,” said Woods, a
four-time Masters champion. “And
with 36 holes here to go, anything
can happen, you know. ’96 proved
that. There’s so many holes to play
and so many different things can
happen. And as I say, we don’t know
what the conditions are going to be
tomorrow, what the committee is
going to do.”
In the 1 9 9 6 Masters, Greg
Norman led Nick Faldo by four at
the midway point and by six after
54 holes, but Faldo came back in
the final round to defeat Norman
by five shots.

Amateurs all done; Conners set to turn pro
By Dennis Knight
Morris News Service

Staff Writer
Mark O’Meara made a Masters
Tournament cut for the first time
since 2005, with a 4-under round
Friday boosting him to 3-under for
the tournament.
“I’m kind of surprised, but I’m
not surprised,” O’Meara said. “I
was fortunate, way back 17 years
ago, in ’98, at 41, nobody thought I
was going to win the Masters, including probably myself. I shot 7470, good enough to make the cut
on the weekend. And then it was
68-67. I think experience plays
a big factor around Augusta Na
tional, kind of playing the course
a bunch, realizing you need to respect the golf course and when
to maybe be a little more aggressive.”
O’Meara won his only green
jacket in 1998, which was the same
year a 58-year-old Jack Nicklaus
carded 68 en route to being the
oldest top-10 finisher in the tournament’s history.
O’Meara used a one-bogey,
five-birdie Friday to get his best
Masters round since he shot 68 in
the final round in 2001.
Just one day after Tom Watson,
65, shot 1-under, O’Meara stole the
show for the seniors.
“The competitiveness, the
majors, the Masters – it means so
much,” O’Meara said. “Certainly
being a Masters champion, certainly coming back here, and then
obviously the nod to get into the
Hall of Fame this year, there’s a
lot of things going on in my life – a
lot of positive things. That kind
of motivates me and drives me to
play better.”
O’Meara is no stranger to defying time. He followed his 1998
Masters victory with a win in
the British Open to become the
rolled in a 27-foot birdie putt at No.
7. Woods added birdies at Nos. 8
and 11 and parred in from there.
After hitting 11 of 18 greens in
regulation Thursday, he hit three
more greens in the second round.
And for the second day in a row,
Woods needed 28 putts. He said
he and playing partners Jamie
Donaldson and Jimmy Walker
struggled with the slower-than-expected greens.
“I had a hard time getting the
ball close to the hole. We all did in
our group,” Woods said. “We were
talking about that again today. We
talked about it all day yesterday. …
You expect certain putts to roll out,
but they’re not rolling out. They just
don’t have quite the same roll out,
and especially some of the downhill
putts. We left a couple short coming down the hills and so you’ve got
to make the adjustments. And our
group didn’t really do a very good
job of it.”

oldest player to grab two majors
in the same year. His Masters
triumph also came on his 15th
attempt, the most by a first-time
winner.
This year, O’Meara’s Masters
started with Monday and Tues
day practice rounds with Tiger
Woods. He wondered what
his friend might think about
seeing his name on the leaderboard.
“It was good to see it up there,
because maybe, I know Tiger’s
like 3-under (Friday), so maybe
it’s motivating him a little bit out
there – seeing the old man’s up
on the board he’s probably, ‘Wait
a minute. Can’t let that guy beat
me,’ ” O’Meara joked.
Amateur Corey Conners played
his first competitive round at
Augusta National Golf Club on
Thursday and learned how challenging the historic layout can be when
he shot 80.
But on Friday, the Canadian
found his comfort zone – firing 3under 69 in a round that included
six birdies.
Conners, who qualified for the
Masters as the 2014 U.S. Amateur
runner-up, missed the cut at 5-over,
but finished as the low amateur by
a stroke.
He won’t receive the Silver Cup
awarded to the low amateur because
he missed the cut, but Conners has
bigger things to worry about.
“It was much different than yesterday,” the 23-year-old Conners
said. “Today I drove the ball well,
and made a lot of iron shots and
holed the putts. I still left a few shots
out there, but I was really happy with
the score.
“I’m looking forward to turning professional and playing my
first professional tournament next
week.”
Conners will be in the field at the
RBC Heritage in Hilton Head Island,
S.C., which starts Thursday.
He got off to a quick start, hitting a 5-iron to 20 feet on the first
hole and sinking the putt for birdie.
Conners did well on the par-5s, making birdies on No. 2, No. 13 and No.
15. He also birdied the par-4 5th hole,
knocking a 6-iron from 200 yards to
12 feet and converting and made a
two at No. 16.
Conners edged Byron Meth by
a shot and Antonio Murdaca, of
Australia, by two shots.
Meth earned his Masters invite
as the final winner of the U.S. Public
Links Championship, which was
ended by the USGA. The talented
senior from the University of Pacific
in Stockton, Calif., didn’t have his
best day off the tee.
But he used some advice he got
from Rory McIlroy during a practice
round Monday to get the most of his
round.

Back-right pin placement on 7th green toughened task for competitors
7 Par450 4yards
By David Lee
Staff Writer
Brian Harman putts on No. 7, where
he made bogey. Only six players birdied
the hole during Friday’s second round.
Matt Kuchar found success on
No. 7 Friday, but others weren’t
as fortunate on a hole that played
tougher than normal in the second round.
The seventh hole ranked as
the third-toughest at Augusta Na
tional Golf Club on Day 2, yielding just six birdies to go with 40
bogeys, 17 more than Thursday.
It tied for third-fewest birdies on
the course.
Golfers were forced to go for a
tough pin tucked in the back right,
guarded by bunkers in front and
behind. A well-placed approach
shot on the right side left reasonable putts, but approaches that
missed left turned into difficult
two-putts for par.
“If you see anybody put the
ball on the left side of the green
like I did today, you’re not going to
get the first putt inside five or six
feet,” said Jim Furyk, who lagged
a 64-foot putt to 7 feet but putted
twice more for bogey.
Kuchar was one of the six to
birdie the hole Friday, accomplished by sticking his approach

to 7 feet. He acknowledged his
ability to fade the ball helped
shape his approach toward the
back-right portion of the green.
“I was able to get one moving just a little bit from center of
the green toward the hole a little
bit,” Kuchar said. “I had a pretty
straightforward 10- to 12-footer. I
got lucky with having the perfect
distance and the right shot shape.”
Tiger Woods also made birdie
on the hole, draining an uphill

27-foot putt.
Furyk said the green has a
bowl in front of Friday’s pin that
left straight, uphill putts for those
who kept it on that side. However,
only 41 percent of golfers hit the
green in two on the par-4, compared with 65 percent Thursday.
Being in the proper place on
the fairway is also key. It’s one
of the narrower fairways on the
course, and there’s a clearer shot
to the pin from the left side. Right-
side approach shots can require a
harder fade around pine trees.
“Driving the fairway there is
a tough thing to accomplish to
begin with,” Kuchar said.
The result was the hole averaging 4.37 compared with 4.2
Thursday. It’s ranked as the thirdtoughest hole entering the weekend after ranking fifth last year
at 4.25.

Network celebrates 60th year of broadcasting tournament
When CBS televised its first
Masters in 1956, the network used
seven cameras and covered action
from the final four holes.
When the CBS cameras roll at
Augusta this weekend for the 60th
consecutive year, considerably
more personnel and technology
will be in place. CBS will offer
nine hours of live coverage this
weekend, and it can show action
from all 18 holes.
The partnership between the
Masters and CBS is unique, and
the year’s first major is the longestrunning sports event broadcast on
one network.
“It’s really unlike anything in
sports,” said Sean McManus, the
chairman of CBS Sports. “We have
a great heritage and a great tradition with a lot of events we cover.
But there is something unique and
different with the relationship we
have with Augusta National and
the event itself. It’s hard to put
into words.”
Even though the PGA Tour
season now starts in the fall, and
events are held on the West Coast,
Florida and Texas the first three
months of the year, there is a certain anticipation with the Masters.
It’s the biggest tournament of the
year, and for many it signals the
start of spring and good weather.
CBS isn’t shy about showcasing
the course’s beauty and its abun-

dant and colorful plant life.
“There’s no event like it,”
McManus said. “We try to capture
that for people who haven’t been
lucky enough to go there. And I
think sometimes people get the
impression we’re overstating the
beauty of the place, but we’re really not. I get a lot of comments
from people who have been there
who say, ‘Now I get it.’ ”
With limited commercial interruption, innovations and a veteran broadcast crew, it’s easy to
see why the Masters consistently
draws the highest ratings of any
golf tournament.
Under the direction of longtime
CBS producer Frank Chirkinian,
the Masters telecast flourished
in the 1960s and was known for
breaking ground. The Masters
was the first golf tournament to be
shown in color, and it was the first
to have an overseas broadcast.
Chirkinian, who died in 2011,
ran a tight ship, but he also knew
a story when he saw it. It’s no coincidence that Arnold Palmer’s rise
and an increase in the popularity
of golf were simultaneous.
“He was standing there next to
his caddie, hitching his trousers,
wrinkling his nose, flipping a cigarette to the ground,” Chirkinian
told The Augusta Chronicle in 2004.
“He hitched his trousers again
and grabbed a club from his caddie. And he hits it on the green.
“I thought, ‘Holy mackerel, who
is this guy?’ He absolutely fired up
the screen. It was quite obvious
this was the star. We followed him
all the way.”
For years Augusta National resisted showing all 18 holes, and for
decades the front nine was rarely
shown on television. Those holes
gradually began to be televised,
and 18-hole coverage was offered
for the final round in 2002.
CBS host Jim Nantz, who will
celebrate his 30th year of covering the Masters, said this is his
favorite time of the year. He just
finished the NCAA basketball
tournament, another CBS staple.
“It’s a big number, 60. I daresay there’s never been any television show that is as important to
the CBS network as the Masters,”
Nantz said. “Some might say 60
Minutes. Let’s include it in the discussion, 60 Masters and 60 Minutes.
Those shows have reflected more
about the brand known as CBS
than anything else. It’s so special
to see today.”
Even Masters and Augusta Na
tional Chairman Billy Payne honored the network during his annual news conference Wednesday.
“We specifically congratulate
and celebrate CBS for their longterm commitment to the Masters,
as this year marks their 60th
consecutive Masters broadcast,”
Payne said.

on-site training: Sarah McDon
ald’s first trip to the Masters Tour
nament was a lesson in improving
her golf game.
The Augusta 14-year-old was
one of six participants from the
First Tee of Augusta attend
ing Friday’s second round. She
watched intently as Jordan Spieth
hit his tee shot on No. 1.
“He didn’t look very nervous.
And his pre-routine was pretty
cool,” she said.
Learning a routine before
swinging a club is one of the tech
niques Sarah has focused on at the
First Tee. Her Masters experience
will help her when she returns to
golf lessons, she said.
“It will motivate me to try to
play my best so maybe one day I
can be in this,” she said.
Sarah and two other First Tee
students wearing green hats were
whisked out of the gallery to stand
in the front row behind the ropes
as Spieth began his round.
“It is a sport that you could play
for the rest of your life,” she said.
No time for chit-chat: A business
trip in the U.S. ended with leisure
time on the golf course for South
African Machiel Lucas.
Lucas, of Pretoria, attended the
Masters Tournament for the first
time Friday wearing a hat with
the flag of his country. He watched
countrymen Charl Schwartzel,
Louis Oosthuizen and Ernie Els
and met other patrons from South
Africa. He even exchanged a few
words with Els in their native lan
guage.
“We greeted him twice in our
language. He acknowledged us
and moved on. Not much time for
chit-chat,” Lucas said.
Lucas has a 16-hour flight today
from Atlanta to Johannesburg. He
is returning home with a bag full
of souvenirs.
Cool souvenir: Fred Marshall,
of Augusta, had big dreams after
attending the Masters Tournament
with his 9-year-old son, Davian
Christian.
“Maybe one day we can be a
member,” Marshall said jokingly.
Late in the afternoon, Davian
rested on a bench fiddling with
a broken golf tee from Jimmy
Walker. Walker’s caddie handed
the tee to the child.
“It was cool. I’m gonna put it in
my room in a safe place,” Davian
said.
The father-son duo followed
Tiger Woods for several holes and
then Jordan Spieth. Marshall said
he spotted Woods’ mom on the
course.
“It was a great time. We plan on
coming back again,” he said.
