Getting your player ready...
Mile High at Augusta.
Miguel Angel Jimenez’s eagle on No. 7 Sunday was the 10th there in Masters history. The previous player to do so was former Denver resident Brandt Jobe in 2006.
Spiritual.
It was 50 years ago that sportswriter Herbert Warren Wind coined the phrase “Amen Corner” to describe the 11th, 12th and 13th holes.
Comeback.
Stuart Appleby shot a 4-over-par 76 in his first round. He then went 70, 72 and 71 to finish in a tie for 14th and guarantee a return next year. The top 16 finishers receive tournament invitations the following year.
