As far as the Augusta National Golf Club’s course itself, much of the attention at this year’s Masters will be focused on No. 13, the par 5 that was lengthened 35 yards with the addition of a new tee box. That change will force most players to tackle the hole differently, presumably with more second-shot layups after tee shots don’t skirt around the corner of the dogleg or even over the trees left of the fairway.
It will be most interesting to see how the scoring average on No. 13 changes, as historically it has ranked as the easiest hole in relation to par at the Masters.
