Augusta-National Christo-Lamprecht Golf Majors The News

South Africa Latest News,South Africa Headlines

Tiger Woods and Christo Lamprecht are at opposite ends of their careers, but both find deep motivation at the Masters.

Tiger Woods during a practice round prior to the 2024 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on 9 April, 2024.

“My practice sessions certainly aren’t what they used to be. I used to live on the range or live on a short game facility and just be out there all day. Woods’ links to the tournament and the course run deep. He won the first of his 15 majors at Augusta as a 21-year-old and his most recent at the Masters as a 43-year-old in 2019.“This tournament has meant so much to me in my life and my family. I think I’ve been playing here for, what, 29 years now. It was the ultimate to be able to stay in the Crow’s Nest and to watch Byron and Sam and Gene tee off on the first hole.

Length is important at Augusta, but understanding the greens and their slopes, getting a feel for the speed of the surfaces and dealing with the pressure of major championship golf, will all be factors for the 23-year-old Georgia Tech student. “So, this is so cool. It’s so fun. I have a bunch of friends from home that flew over. It’s fun to have some family and friends around. It’s pretty special.”
