We have never been worried about scores. Our greatest concern has always been that the course be kept current with the times. Change has been a constant at Augusta National, starting in the earliest years of the tournament. Bobby Jones made innumerable modifications to the layout, and that philosophy continues to this day.

I love the place, just love everything that happens there. But now, I'm not so sure. It's changed dramatically from the course I knew the last 50 years. I guess if there was a moment, that was it.

I want to say something about the changes and about bombers. We think that at 280 to 300 yards (off the tee at No. 1), there's all the room in the world. There's 290 yards to the bunker. And if someone wants to swing from the heels and hit it 330 or 340 or something like that, he'd better be accurate.
