I want the Masters back. Give it back.
OK, we get it. No one will ever shoot
18 under again. But please. This is ridiculous. The men who run this tournament control a lot. But they don't control the weather. And they've gone too far. Mix cold, windy ...

morning. Here's what Butch Harmon said in the New

The first two rounds of the 2008 Masters
will be televised by ESPN. The USA Network had
