"Zach Johnson wins the Masters. Not a highlight exactly..."
/Lawrence Donegan posts a year-in-review and player watch for 2008, with this item catching my eye:
2) Zach Johnson wins the Masters. Not a highlight exactly, more of a vindication for those who argue the changes made to the Augusta National golf course in an attempt to meet the challenges of modern golf technology have diminished Alistair MacKenzie's classic course to the extent that average players such as Johnson can now prevail at major championships.
It is fascinating that only a few years ago, any criticism of Augusta National would have been highly unusual (unless it was me mouthing off). Now it's rather commonplace.
Surely the club must notice this trend?
