Vicksburg Visit On Route To The Masters.
My first and only prior visit to Vicksburg, Mississippi had been early in January 1980 – a gap of just under 36 years.

Four Holes, Five Dropped Shots Takes The Sting Out Of The World No. 1.
Augusta, GA … The first round of the 2016 Masters promised so much for World No. 1 Jason Day.
And for all but four holes Augusta National delivered for the player who captured the past two events he contested.
Day stepped onto the tee at the par five 15th at five under par and while he would bogey the hole to slip to four under there was no real concern.
However it would be a harbinger to the horror of taking a triple bogey ‘6’ at the par three 16th.
Day had produced a flawless ...

Augusta, GA ... Scotland’s Russell Knox clearly looked shell-shocked in describing his demeanour after a shock seven over par 79 on the opening day of his maiden Masters.

And after doing all the right things in terms of his practice rounds, that included playing 18 holes alongside 1988 Masters ...
