THE MASTERS
AUGUSTA NATIONAL
Augusta, Ga.
April 10-13, ESPN, CBS
THE SHOT: Lagging it close on slick greens.
It's all about lag putting at Augusta. Last year, Zach Johnson only had one three-putt because he lagged brilliantly.
HOW TO DO IT: On fast greens, choke down an inch; this shortens your putter for more control. Play the ball just a touch toward the toe of the putter, which deadens the roll. Make a pendulum swing with your arms and shoulders, so you don't pop the ball with your wrists. This will help you roll 30 footers to five inches, not five feet.
