After watching that drive on 18 yesterday, and if Augusta is playing firm, can you imagine what he can do on 2, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 15?

His work around the greens and putting is so bad that he wont sniff the cut at Augusta

Yeah his SG around the green hes ranked 101 and SG putting hes 119

Hes so long off the tee but only hits 70% of greens in regulation which had him ranked 85th on tour

55% of fairways has him has him at 96th on tour.

If he has a week that hes putting well he is hard to beat

That is something he has focused on improving - and it looks like he is making strides there.

Augusta is really tough for first timers and for those who don't hit the ball high. I know his drives are bullets which shouldn't hurt him too much but how does he hit his irons?

That drive on 18 was unreal!

at one point on the broadcast yesterday they were talking about how high he hits his wedges.

only 8 players every have won a tournament while leading in driving distance and scrambling. Champ is one of them. April is a long ways away.

Pulling for that guy. Hopefully he can get the short game working before April.

To this I would only add 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 17 and 18.

I kid, because he's not going to hit driver everywhere, is he? But it really is going to be intriguing to see where he hits it, being that he's legitimately the longest player to ever play in the Masters.

Augusta National would seem to suit his game.

If he is hitting driver and short irons into par 4's, and he can bomb the par 5's then I would like to think he has a chance to play well there.

The toughest part of Augusta is knowing exactly where to place your approach shots on the greens, some of the landing areas on the greens are relatively small. So accuracy with the irons is huge.

Dang it would be awesome to see him win a green jacket.

Augusta will kill you if you can't putt and short game isn't on point.

Or leave your approach in the right place, unlike what he did on 18 this past Sunday.

Yep, I have read he is working on those aspects of his game.

Similar to DJ when he came out and was the longest player but had limited touch or feel around the greens.

Champ made some clutch putts in the final round, but major set ups and Augusta are a different animal altogether.

I'm looking forward to watching him play at Augusta.
