Report: Justin Rose Hears Augusta's Trees Look "Shredded"
/Cameron Morfit reports that Justin Rose is hearing from early Augusta National visitors that the ice storm (which many said would not be a big deal, oy)
From Morfit's report:
“Peter Hanson went a couple days ago,” said Rose, who was scheduled for a wheels-up time of 8:15 a.m. Thursday for an early look at the course. ”He said you won’t recognize it. He said the ice storm has shredded all the leaves from all the trees. He said from the eleventh hole you could see all the way to the clubhouse. Apparently all the trees look dead. It’s a bit of a shame.”
**Oh I guess we'll know in a week. Now the item includes this from Rose after playing Thursday:
”I didn’t see any of that myself,” he said. “It was playing up to tournament speed. The only thing I noticed was that the azaleas hadn’t popped yet, but they have ways of controlling those things around here, and I’m sure they will do that during tournament week.”
