The changes to the 13th at Augusta National will lead to a lot more laying up, even from big hitters like Bubba Watson and Dustin Johnson, and could well take some of the excitement out of the hole over the Masters weekend.
Two-time winner Watson and fellow Green Jacket owner Patrick Reed have both played the lengthened 13th at Augusta ahead of the 2023 Masters, with Watson having to hit four and three irons into the green and Johnson needing to lay up.
