Tiger Is a Huge Fan of the "Easy" Augusta


One extremely interested wrinkle in how Augusta National plays each year is this - Tiger Woods has never won on a "hard" Augusta year.

Actually, Tiger has never won at Augusta when the winning score is just single digits under par.

His victories looked like this : 18-under, 16-under, 12-under, and 12-under. Actually, in the Tiger ear era, only one golfer has shot double-digits under par (Vijay Singh in 2000) to win the Masters.

I guess you could say the field (you know, those guys that have no chance of winning) can only hope for the hardest conditions possible. The easier the better for Mr. Woods.
