Subject: Masters' practice rounds
Quick question. I have heard the announcers say that Tiger (for
instance) shows up early Masters' week in order to get in some
practice rounds in Augusta. Here's my question - does that mean he
actually practices on the tournament course? Do all players have the
option (outside the regular Tuesday/Weds practice rounds?)? Or is it
limited to those who have won the tournament before?

I read an article in Golf Week about this past Sunday there, and it
mentioned Larry Mize playing with his son - choosing to play from the
championship tees.

Els spent 3 days there practicing recently, so I assume all invitees
get the privilege. The time Ernie put in does not seem to be doing him
much good so far.
