Augusta National bought part of Augusta Country Club behind the 13th tee to complete a lengthening that debuts this week with a tee from the tips at 498 metres.
On Monday, in his first go from the new tee, the Masters champion grabbed his driver and promptly plunked his tee shot into the tributary of Rae’s Creek left of the fairway. On Tuesday, he reached the green by going driver, 4-iron.
