Everybody was still talking about one of the most dramatic last minute arrivals in recent memory. Ian Poulter’s play-off victory at the Houston Open ensured he took the 87th and final spot for this week. The Englishman will arrive at Augusta National tomorrow.
Jason Day revealed he has switched caddies for the week as he looks to win his second Major Championship. The 2015 US PGA Champion has friend Rika Batibasaga on bag duties and will hope that inspires him to better his tie for second here in 2011.
Everybody knows that, at 46 years old, Jack Nicklaus is the oldest winner of the Masters. However, two-time Green Jacket winner Bernhard Langer thinks that particular record of the Golden Bear’s will be broken. The German said, “The guys are much fitter nowadays than golfers have ever been, I think. You have guys like Phil Mickelson, Fred Couples and a few others in the future that are still long enough to temper this golf course or to have a chance if their short game is good.”
