Lee Westwood, of England, walks over the Hogan Bridge on the 13th hole during the first round of the Masters golf tournament Thursday, April 10, 2014, in Augusta, Ga.AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Masters is about so many things.
Tradition. Sure. Is there another place in sports where the connection 0f competitor, venue and patron are as deeply linked?
Beauty. Naturally. This place is a bucket-list destination for every casual golfer from Hixson to Helsinki.
Familiarity. Of course. The players and the course may change — we’re missing our most famous wood (Eisenhower’s Tree) and Woods (Tiger) this week, and you’d never know — but the images are cemented in time.
And all of this is wrapped in the emotion of the Masters.
