Masters doesn’t start until back 9 on Sunday
Was the Masters less exciting this year?
There were only 21 eagles made during the tournament. The record is 47 in 2015.
Only three of the top 10 players had an eagle - Scheffler on Saturday, Smith on Sunday, and Zalatoris on Thursday. And not one of the leaders had an eagle on the back nine on Sunday.
Commentators said that lengthening some of the holes have caused players to layup more than in past years. I think that laying up makes for less exciting golf.
Should they make the holes shorter and have easier pin positions- at least on Sunday?
