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 don't think it's good. Golf should only have par-three, par-four or par-five holes.

We're not worried about Tiger. We're worried about these 17-year-olds.
