I've been fortunate over my career to make a little history on the 16th hole at Augusta National.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm very excited every time I'm at Augusta National. It's such a beautiful and fabulous golf course.
The experience at the Masters was two years ago, and I am eager to win again this year so I can return to Augusta National in 2016.
Augusta is a very unique golf course. It's a long hitters' course; main reason is because the greens are so severe, and the areas where they put the pin is such a small area. The little plateaus and undulations mean it's incredibly important to be close to that pin so you can be aggressive.
I'm a golfer and have had three holes in one.
I enjoy Augusta. I enjoy its challenges. There's no other golf course like this anywhere. Its greens and its challenges on and around the greens are just super, super tough. So the greens are fun to play in sort of a morbid way.
You have to be sharp with all aspects of your game at Augusta. You need to put yourself in the best spot off the tee and hit the longest drive you can, but I think this is really a second-shot course. If you leave yourself with an awkward putt on the greens, it can be very tricky here.
I spent hours as a kid on the putting green of the local golf course imagining I was sinking a putt to win the Masters.
I've always played my best golf in the summer.
The major championships have always been a special focus in my career, and as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be.
I was from North Carolina, so as a youngster all of my mind games about golf were always, 'If I make this I win The Masters, if I hole this par putt I win The Masters.' So it was a great thrill to play there.
