AUGUSTA, Georgia: The course set-up for this week's Masters is shaping up to be fast and firm, a stark contrast from last November and one that three-times champion Phil Mickelson says will command respect.
"So when the greens are firm, the precision, the course management, the angles, the leave where the ball is left, all of this stuff becomes incredibly important in your ability to play this course effectively." "It's like having a military and then not giving them any weapons, right. It's defenceless," said Mickelson."So with firm greens, that's the defence. It's not like we have - there's no US Open rough here. There's no tight fairways. The defence is the greens, right."
