Back To The Big Bangers Again?

From Mike McAllister's live blog over at SI.com:

Stephen Ames, who finished at 2-under, said Augusta National is playing longer than earlier in the week. "It's exceptionally difficult out there," he said a few minutes ago. "It's back to the bangers again. The game is back into their hands."

And Tim Clark just told Bill Macatee that even with good drives, he's not sure he could have reached 17 or 18 in two.
