Looked at another way, the Par 3s at Augusta account for only 10 to 14 shots in a round on average. The Par 5s involve 15 to 25 shots. Golfers must make pars, birdies and eagles on the latter 4 holes…or accumulate an awful lot of strokes. Given the skills of a young Tiger, a Par 5 becomes just a long, difficult Par 4.

Tiger Woods has told reporters many times that his strategy when leading on the final day of a big tournament is to par every hole and make the others catch him. As Robert Trent Jones once put it, sometimes an eagle is 2 shots and a putt.

Dustin Johnson, who recently nailed a suborbital drive on a course in Texas , should be able to land shots softly on all 4 greens on his 2nd shot with an iron, unless a truly gale-force wind is fighting the golf ball. Or unless he botches the drive. Every hole at Augusta can be double-bogeyed without a professional truly missing a shot. Jones designed it that way. The list of players who have shot their way out of the tournament by scuffing, splashing or slipping on a Par 5 is enormous.

Jordan Spieth shot a 9 on the 15th hole on Thursday in , and never caught the lead despite brilliant play on the weekend. Tiger Woods carded an 8 on the 15th in , losing the tournament by 4. Indeed, the ability to scramble for par and birdie should not be overlooked. Likewise, Spieth is not the most powerful golfer of his era by any stretch, yet he has fared extremely well at Augusta National. Finesse players have won The Masters by building a score, making sure the highest number on their scorecard is a 5, and waiting for putts to fall.

He could then pitch to a crested hole location and leave himself an uphill stroke. While others courted disaster, Watson sank birdie putts and took the creek totally out of play. Nobody can get up and down like Mickelson, who went on the Par 5s on the way to winning a green jacket in If a player is struggling off the tee, then handicappers must consider the chance that he will make bogeys on the longest holes, in addition to his having less quality chances to make 4s.

The dense woods left of the Par 5 2nd hole drop off into a hideous-looking pit, into which many have seen their Sunday chances disappear. Likewise, danger lurks on almost every short approach shot on the course. Finally, putting is more than crucial to win at The Masters. Players have won who were great putters with average skills at everything else, like Ben Crenshaw.

Whose game is currently long, controlled and clever enough to turn Par 72 into Par 68? And sprinkle enough birdies on the Par 3s and 4s to make up for any hiccups?

His putting put him too far behind as an Augusta newbie, but recent years have brought more promising results. Every Par 5 on the Jones-MacKenzie course is a double bogey waiting to happen. Looked at another way, the Par 3s at Augusta account for only 10 to 14 shots in a round on average.
